238, mysterious village
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng was shocked: "Your sword? This...... What the hell is going on? ”
Li Ling didn't look up, just stroked the blade of Biluo's sword with his fingers. Suddenly, Li Ling raised his head and looked at the forest in the distance, but there were three more points of calmness and calmness in his eyes.
"The Biluo Sword has a special texture, and any person or thing hit by the Biluo Sword will always be dyed with a trace of special powder on the sword body, which is naturally not easy to detect in the daytime, but at night, as long as the Biluo Sword is close to it, the sword body will glow with fluorescent green. As long as we follow the trail left by the Biluo Sword and follow along the way, we will definitely be able to keep up with Lei Xingtian. ”
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then exclaimed: "I see, as long as we can keep up with Lei Xingtian, take advantage of his unpreparedness, and rescue people, we will definitely be able to rescue Lan'er." ”
Li Ling didn't say much at the moment, holding the sword in his right hand, and his body moved and ran towards the dense forest in the distance. Along the way, Li Ling sometimes led the way with his sword, sometimes leaned over to observe, sometimes picked flowers and grass, and sometimes flashed sharply, like a fierce beast chasing its prey, and never gave up any clues that could find its prey.
Gu Qingfeng didn't have Li Ling's tracking skills, so he could only follow behind Li Ling and move forward together. The disciples of the Sword Sect who escaped were led by Li Jia out of the forest and slowly headed towards the nearby villages and towns. They had already made an appointment with Li Ling and Gu Qingfeng, and after the two rescued Shen Lan, they would go to nearby villages and towns to meet them.
Li Ling and Gu Qingfeng followed all the way, but the humidity in the forest became heavier and heavier, and after walking for a while, a thick mist rose in the forest, making people unable to distinguish the direction when they were trapped in it.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng frowned and said, "The fog here is so big!" ”
Li Ling suddenly stopped, looked around, and then looked at the dense fog in front of him, and wondered, "Why is there such a fog here all of a sudden." ”
"Yes, when I was camping just now, it was still cold and windy, why did it suddenly fall into fog? This forest is the only way to Jinyang City, and I have walked back and forth many times, but this kind of foggy weather is the first time I have encountered it! Suddenly, Gu Qingfeng seemed to think of something, and asked anxiously: "With such a big fog, we won't lose that thief." ”
At this time, Li Ling shook his head lightly and said, "That's not going to happen." Although the fog here is large, but our tracking mainly relies on the magic effect of the Biluo Sword, as long as it is the place where Lei Xingtian walks, the Biluo Sword will definitely react, as long as we follow along the way, we will not go wrong. ”
When Gu Qingfeng heard this, his heart calmed down a little, and he nodded: "That's good!" Alright, let's keep on our way, lest the thief run away! ”
Afterwards, Li Ling and Gu Qingfeng continued to track and leave.
……
At this time, Lei Xingtian grabbed Shen Lan and ran wildly. Originally, this forest was not too complicated, and it only took less than half an hour to get out. But for some reason, suddenly a heavy fog fell from the sky, and although Lei Xingtian cultivated extraordinary, he was deep in the fog at the moment, like a headless fly, bumping into each other, and for a while, he lost his way.
After going around in the forest for a few times, Lei Xingtian suddenly stopped and scolded: "Thief God, are you going against me? knew that Lao Tzu was running for his life, but at this time, he made this kind of ghost weather, which made people dizzy and nowhere to be found. ”
It turned out that Lei Xingtian was deep in the fog, and he didn't care about it at first, but the more he went later, the more Lei Xingtian found that the fog in this forest was very weird, and with his thunder path body and speed, he carved marks along the road, but after going around a few times, he finally returned to the starting point. Later, Lei Xingtian changed several methods, but no matter what method was used, the final result was the same, no matter how fast or slow Lei Xingtian went, he would return to the original place of departure.
At this time, Lei Xingtian stood in the thick fog, looked at the surrounding dense forest, and suddenly saw the black shadows in the forest moving and rustling, and he didn't know whether it was a person or a ghost. Lei Xingtian was stunned for a moment, suddenly felt a chill on his back, the muscles on his face twitched, and he wondered in his heart: "Could it be that Lao Tzu really encountered a ghost hitting the wall?" ”
But after thinking about it, Lei Xingtian felt that his idea was extremely absurd and ridiculous, he was originally a martial arts cultivator, and he was able to practice against the sky, and he also had the secret art of thunder punishment, not to mention that the ghosts and gods in the world were nothing, even if there were really ghosts and gods, I am afraid that he would not be able to stop his power of thunder punishment and heavenly punishment.
Once he figured out such a crucial point, the cold qi on Lei Xingtian's body dissipated, and he began to think of a way to get out. At this time, Lei Xingtian looked at the dense fog around him, and said in his heart: "Now, this fog is thick, I rushed overnight, lost my way, if I continue to waste in the forest, not only will I lose my physical strength and cultivation, but also consume my spirit, if I am caught up by those two thousand knives, I will never be able to live." Now the plan, it is better to hide in the forest, one to cultivate mental and physical strength, and the other to wait and see the changes, and after dawn, the fog will dissipate, and I can naturally leave with the hostage in my hand. ”
Thinking of this, Lei Xingtian didn't mess around anymore, and then found a hidden place, put Shen Lan beside him, sat on the spot, and began to meditate on his own.
……
At this time, Li Ling and Gu Qingfeng in the forest gradually lost their composure just now, at this moment, the faces of both of them were difficult to see, Li Ling's eyes flickered red, the Biluo Sword in his hand became tighter and tighter, and Zhou's body exuded a cold murderous aura.
Gu Qingfeng on the side saw this, but his brows were slightly furrowed, and he immediately persuaded: "Don't worry, try again!" ”
"No need to try!"
"Why?" Gu Qingfeng wondered.
At this moment, Li Ling suddenly stretched out his hand and held the Biluo Sword across his chest, his eyes full of incomprehension. It turned out that at this time, the Biluo sword had long since lost its former glory, and the sword body was dull for some reason, and the entire Biluo sword body seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the sword body was actually glowing with yellow-green rust spots.
"Because Biluo Sword suddenly lost the magic effect of tracking for some reason!" Li Ling said in disbelief.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the Biluo Sword in Li Ling's hand, and said in a deep voice: "I don't think it's just that it has lost its divine effect, but even this sword body is rusty." ”
Li Ling looked at the rust on the sword and said suspiciously: "The Biluo Sword is a Kyushu artifact, and the entire sword body is made of a very special material, which is not gold, iron, jade or stone. How could such a sword be rusty? ”
"But that's the case!" Gu Qingfeng suddenly thought of something, then turned his head to look at the fog around him, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be because of this fog?" ”
Li Ling urged Zhenli, and the palm of his left hand gently brushed the sword body, and under the urging of Zhenli, the water vapor on the sword body was completely evaporated, and the sword body also returned to its previous green and verdant color. However, after several attempts, Li Ling finally shook his head and said helplessly: "It seems that this mist can not only disorient people, but also make the divine weapon lose its own utility. ”
Both of them were frowning at the moment, with anxious expressions on their faces. Because they didn't know if Lei Xingtian had already taken off the forest, if he was taken off by Lei Xingtian, then Shen Lan would be really dangerous.
At this moment, Li Ling's face sank like water, he thought about it a few times but couldn't do it, his heart was in a hurry, and the Biluo sword in his hand swung suddenly, and the turquoise sword qi swept out like a crescent moon, and several big trees on the opposite side were actually broken by roots.
After all, Gu Qingfeng has been famous for many years, and his temperament is calmer than Li Ling, and then he said lightly: "Don't worry, the current situation may not be the worst for us." ”
When Li Ling heard this, he turned his head and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"You think, now that there is a fog in the forest, the two of us can't get out, that Thunder Punishment Heaven is almost the same as our cultivation, and there is only one person, and the chance of getting out is even smaller than ours. If what I expected was right, Lei Xingtian was also trapped in this forest at the moment, and he couldn't get out. ”
Li Ling was originally a smart person, and just now he was bent on saving people, but he lost his mind, and at this moment he was awakened by Gu Qingfeng's words, but he nodded and said: "Yes, now the plan is only to wait!" ”
"Wait?" Gu Qingfeng wondered.
"Yes, wait! We had been chasing in the woods all night, and now the sky was white, and the dawn was approaching. As soon as the fog clears naturally as soon as the day dawns, we can continue to track, and we will definitely be able to rescue Lan'er. Li Ling said firmly.
Thinking of this, he suddenly saw Gu Qingfeng reach out and take out a palm-sized golden disc from his arms, and then pinned it on the palm of his hand, and his eyes showed a look of remembrance.
Li Ling saw the golden disc in Gu Qingfeng's hand, frowned slightly, and blurted out, "Compass?" ”
Gu Qingfeng's eyes swept over Li Ling on the side, and said in a deep voice: "You also know this thing?" ”
"I've seen it in some ancient books. The compass is a tool for determining direction, and it can be used to determine the direction by referring to the magnetic needle in the center of the disk. ”
"You're right!" Gu Qingfeng suddenly sighed and said, "This compass was left to me by my father, he said that as long as you follow the direction indicated by the compass, you can find your way home, but ...... But...... But he lied to me. Speaking of this, a trace of pain flashed in Gu Qingfeng's eyes.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng's gloomy expression and sad eyes, Li Ling deliberately diverted the topic and said: "Although this forest is weird, we have a compass in our hands, and we may be able to identify the direction and find a way out!" ”
Thinking of this, Gu Qingfeng held the compass flat in the palm of his hand and silently observed the pointing of the magnetic needle in the center of the compass. Suddenly, instead of pointing out the direction, the needle in the center of the compass kept turning like a windmill, suddenly fast, sometimes slow, suddenly positive, and suddenly reversed, which was very strange.
Seeing this, Li Ling frowned slightly, and exclaimed, "This ...... What's going on? Why is the compass like this? ”
When Li Ling looked up at Gu Qingfeng again, Gu Qingfeng's eyes were dull, his eyes were fixed on the pointer in the center of the compass, and his face seemed to be excited, excited, painful, and confused!
"What's wrong with you?" Li Ling saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly asked.
Who knows, at this time, Gu Qingfeng suddenly bent down and knelt on the ground, gently put the compass on the ground with both hands, his eyes were full of tears, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he said silently.
In the end, Gu Qingfeng suddenly looked up at the sky and said sadly: "Thunder Magnetic Change, Thunder Magnetic Change!" Father, are you guiding me? Are you guiding me home? ”
At this time, the sun was rising, and as the warm sunlight sprinkled into the dense forest, the fog gradually dissipated, and the outline of a mysterious village slowly came into the eyes of the two men.
