Chapter 20: Departure
Today's Aster is dressed up very charmingly, but I saw that she was wearing a water-red gold satin-style wool jacket, a lake-blue embroidered peony eight-panel skirt that dragged the floor, and a lake-blue thin smoke veil.
Black hair, a chic flying cloud bun on his head, a red gold and jade flower in his temples, a red gold ring bead nine turns exquisite bracelet on his hand with skin like condensed fat, a purple Ruyi silk silk around the waist, the most eye-catching thing is the large piece of milky white on the chest, and the whole person looks bright and enchanting.
The body half leaned and half stood in Jinyu's arms, Jinyu's dress was also a little different, wearing an ink-colored robe, with a moon-white spider belt tied around his waist, and his eyes were not as hot as before, but more bland, and the whole person was rippling with a ruthless and capable atmosphere everywhere.
Jiang Youyu also stood in the crowd, and after scanning a few laps, he didn't find Steward Jin, which seemed a little inexplicable.
"Today, I'm afraid something will happen all the way to Nishizawa Mountain!!" Jiang Youyu's heart was awe-inspiring.
His eyes swept through the crowd again, and at this time, Jinyu seemed to feel something, and a pair of cold eyes looked here, and glanced at Jiang Youyu with a cold air.
Jiang Youyu also looked at Jinyu silently, and then looked away.
Jiang Youyu understood that this was Jinyu warning him with his eyes, and then the team did not set off from the gate of Jinfu, but chose to detour from the back door.
The huge horses and crowd kept being transported outward, and after a while, the Jinfu looked empty.
This is a continuous group of mountains, several hills, peculiar shapes, huge rock walls, about to topple, green trees and bamboos dotted in the middle. Layers of smoke fluttered and flickered.
There are few bushes in the forest, and it is full of towering thousand-year-old trees.
The branches of the trees were intertwined, and the flourishing branches and leaves stretched out were like green clouds, covering the whole mountain.
As time passes, the mountain becomes clearer and the shape of the mountain softens, and you can feel like you can touch it as soon as you stretch out your hand.
"Everyone, be on guard, this is the foot of Mt. Nishizawa," Jin Yu shouted.
Jiang Youyu looked at it at a glance, only to see that in the infinite distance, among the continuous mountains, there were peaks everywhere, straight as arrows, the light in the forest was dark, the straight and tall trees covered most of the sunlight, and only the mottled and sparse light shone in through the branches and leaves of the trees, making the forest particularly mysterious and weird.
The forest was filled with an erratic mist, but it was surprisingly quiet, as if all living beings had never set foot here.
Above those hundreds of mountain peaks, there is also a barren atmosphere.
Jiang Youyu looked at it and was a little shocked by this scene, and said secretly in his heart: "This mountain range ...... This mountain range is a little familiar, huh? ”
"That's not right!!"
"Born without limits, the opportunity of movement and stillness, the mother of yin and yang. If it moves, it is divided, and if it is still, it is combined. veins, Tibetan wind gathers water and does not move. ”
"But there's no wind or water here?"
Jiang Youyu took a deep breath, suppressed some emotions and doubts in his heart, and came to a cave with a group of people to rest.
Aster's beautiful eyes swept over Jiang Youyu, who was resting in the crowd on the side, and said with a smile: "Jiang Youyu, try it with your special induction, can you sense chalcedony mushroom?"
"Well, yes, Jiang Youyu, you give it a try!!" Jinyu's eyes were slightly cold, and he pointed at Jiang Youyu in his hand, but his eyes skimmed over Aster.
As if sensing Jinyu's unusually cold tone, Aster's face changed slightly, then she blinked her slender eyelashes and chuckled, "Brother Jin, what's wrong with you, such a big anger?" Be careful with your body!! ”
Jinyu turned his head, looked at the aster in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, it's just before I set off that I knew that the Li family was also urgently gathering people today, and it seemed that they were also coming to Xize Mountain." ”
Aster blinked blankly and said in surprise, "Oh? ”
On the other side, Jiang Youyu also passed from the crowd, came to Aster and Jinyu, and said absently: "Shaodong, madam, the kid doesn't have any sense for the time being?" Just ......"
Seeing that Jiang Youyu was puzzled, Aster said, "It's just a ......?"
Jiang Youyu said: "It's just that this way, the kid found that this road has been walked......
Jinyu nodded and said, "That's right...... It's someone from the Li family! ”
"The Li family?" Jiang Youyu frowned.
Jinyu said impatiently: "Can you find it?" How far is it going? The demon cult cults in this area are rampant and domineering! Don't be surprised! In his words, the word 'Demon Sect' was fiercely accentuated.
Jiang Youyu didn't think about it, and blurted out: "The kid understands, but it's not the right time yet!" And the road is not right! ”
Jinyu seemed to tilt his head and think about it, and asked rhetorically, "Timing?" What timing do you want? What's wrong with the road? ”
Jiang Youyu couldn't help but glance at Aster, and said meaningfully: "The kid can sense that this Xize Mountain contains 'dead qi', and the further you go inside, the heavier the dead qi becomes. As the saying goes, 'the broken thread is just right, and the more you retreat, the more powerful.' ’”
Hearing this, Aster looked hesitant and asked in a low voice: "I didn't expect that your kid still knows some heaven and earth feng shui, so which direction should we go?" ”
Jiang Youyu secretly said in his heart: That's it? That's my job! "There are three treasures in the sky, the sun, moon and stars, there are three treasures on the ground, water, fire and wind, and there are three treasures in the people. ”
Jinyu on the side did not feel a trace of joy, but looked at Jiang Youyu angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "Say human words!" ”
Jiang Youyu shook his head helplessly and said, "Take the waterway." ”
"Walking along the waterway in the mountains......"
Jinyu still didn't give up: "Are you sure??" ”
Zi Wan turned around at this time, rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Jin, the Li family before us must have taken this path, and now it is in this Xize Mountain, if you meet that group of demon cult cultivators in Xize Mountain, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious!" ”
Jinyu glanced at Jiang Youyu fiercely, and secretly said what this kid was doing, but he was already ready to send it...... Cheering up, he turned his head to Jiang Youyu and said, "Okay, tell me to go down and take the waterway." ”
After a short rest, the large crowd of men and horses moved again, and marched forward along the waterway between the mountains, and after a while, the dense towering giant trees covered the sky and the sun.
Looking backwards, the original road is long gone, and the waterway ahead is full of weirdness and magic.
The gloomy and bleak sunlight shrouded this strange forest, deep in the mountains and old forests, ancient trees towering to the sky, obscuring the sky.
Because the forest also looks eerie and mysterious, no one should dare to go into this forest when they see this kind of scene.
Sometimes the forest is as quiet as if everything is sleeping in the fear of death, and other times, strange figures and creepy sounds can give people hallucinations of the underworld.
Stout and strange plants, nameless insects with enchanting colors, everything looks so unusual.
There was a dark cloud in the distant sky, looking down from the top of the dark cloud, in the middle of a quiet forest, a group of people and horses were marching, like a huge black centipede like a majestic mountain range, slowly crawling through, and everywhere it went, the trees were staggered and broken, like the traces left by a giant python crawling over the grass......
The dirt and gravel that it had stepped on shot out in all directions along its path, thousands of huge gastropods staggered and undulating to the ground, and the cracks in the earth spread like cracks in the ice......
The narrow old approach is winding and terrifying. The dark clouds were covered by the incoming mountain forest, and only a faint dark halo shone from behind the thick clouds.
The wind swayed high in the treetops, making a slow, slamming sound.
The crowd is constantly moving, like a sea of trees like a desert, against the quiet mountains.
The wind of Mt. Nishizawa can clearly feel the meaning of coldness, a little bit of it, suspended in the air, dew or ice chips, I can't tell clearly, but when it touches the skin, it will stir up a small goosebump.
The quiet light of the forest was gradually washed away by the glow of the sun, and the morning sun smeared a glowing red halo on the tops of the trees.
Beams of straight light pierced into the depths of the forest through the cracks in the canopy, shining on the thick moss of the ground, and the breeze flashed, making a rustling sound, just like the sigh of a demon.
The road was silent, not even the sound of birdsong, and the crowd gradually became restless.
The servants and guards of the Jinfu still did not say much, but the many strong men who were fully equipped could not hold on, the heavy equipment was heavy, and the distance was long, the strong men were sweating and thirsty to death.
Jinyu and Aster sat in the carriage, and Jinyu, who had given all her rhetoric to Aster on weekdays, had become silent at the moment.
Although Aster was slightly surprised, she was also interested, and the corners of her mouth provoked a shallow sneer, closing her eyes and recuperating.
"Hey, did you hear that? This group of demon cult cultivators in Xize Mountain are very vicious! As the waterway was advancing, the mysterious voices of several guards not far away attracted Jiang Youyu's attention.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's the matter?" asked one of the guards quietly to another, a shorter one.
The shorter guard was stunned for a moment, and pouted disdainfully as he looked at several of his companions who were also questioning. "Uh... You don't know, do you? ”
"Such a big thing, yes, just spread yesterday"
"A few days ago, Jianjia Village was slaughtered...... Oops, that's miserable! I heard that there was a fool named 'Jian Hao' living in the whole village, and I heard from the guards of the city lord of Jialiang that the streets were full of the smell of blood, and all the fresh lives were just gone. The corpses were naked, cracked, and some even fragmented, and it was almost impossible to find a complete face. ……”
"Oops......" one of the guards wondered, "Could it be this group of demon cult ...... in Nishizawa Mountain?"
"Shh......h What the fuck, be quiet!! ”
"It is claimed that the village was attacked by a powerful demon beast, but in fact, it was the hand of this group of beasts in Nishizawa Mountain." He pursed his lips and roared softly with a reprimanding look on his face.
"Then if we run into them this time, won't we have to go and never return?" One of the guards asked tremblingly.
"Haha... How is it possible, let me tell you that in fact, the Li family has already come, and I am afraid that the two sides are at war......" The guard smiled proudly.
