Volume 1 The Clouds of the Past Chapter 26 A Discovery Led by a Stone
Before they had time to think carefully about the inner meaning of the four words on the black sword, the few people had already set foot on the Biyun Mountain Range again, and saw the central city surrounded by several small towns in the distance.
"That's Green Pine City?" Xu Huan bent his hand in front of his forehead and raised his eyes to look.
Recognizing that it was Qingsong City was not that Xu Huan had been to Qingsong City, but for a very simple reason - this city was very majestic, the city walls were very tall, and only Qingsong City had the opportunity to be so majestic and tall in this vicinity. Compared to it, the walls of Yunyan Town or Fengyang Town are like fences.
Looking at the city hidden outside the mountain that had not completely dissipated, Li Xuankong sighed with emotion: "It's one step closer to Chunquan Mountain. ”
Xu Huan retracted his gaze and said, "In the past few days, I have only cared about rushing with you, and I seem to have forgotten where Chunquan Mountain is." ”
"Chunquan Mountain is at the junction of Nanyuan Prefecture and Yicheng Prefecture."
Xu Huan thought that the name Yichengzhou was like a city, and asked, "When will it be there?" ”
"When will you be able to get .......there," Li Xuankong pondered for a moment and said, "If you arrive at Qingsong City, you will probably need to pass through two cities. ”
"Two cities." Xu Huan thought to himself: "That is, twice the distance in the past few days?" ”
Xu Huan casually picked up a relatively round stone on the ground and threw it forward, watching the stone roll on the ground for a few times before accidentally hitting a big tree, and after being bounced back, it froze in place.
He had never traveled so long since he was born, and perhaps it was a small and insignificant distance for others, but for him, it was the furthest he had traveled in fifteen years.
So even though he had to survive independently because of his youth, his physical strength was much better than that of ordinary peers, even if he had rested in the inn for a few days in the middle, he was now a little unbearable.
Not to mention, the legs always have to bear the weight of another person.
Xu Huan looked back at the hard dirt that had been trampled on by his feet, and an inexplicable disgust and irritability rose in his heart.
This disgust stems from prolonged mechanical activity.
At this time, Wang Qian, who was already barely able to walk a distance, did not lean on Xu Huan anymore, but walked reluctantly and very slowly, I don't know if his conscience found out or he was doing so-called rehabilitation training.
In this way, the three of them have their own ideas, towards the same purpose, in this vast world, in the vast mountains and wilderness.
When you are hungry, you eat dry food, when you are tired, you take a rest, when you meet an inn, you stay at an inn, if you are in the wilderness, you will stay overnight, and when you sleep at night, you will take turns keeping vigil.
This is a boring and mechanical repetition, at first a day or two for Xu Huan there was still some freshness, but after a long time, the freshness has disappeared.
It will take about ten more days to walk, and at this time, Xu Huan, who seems to have lost consciousness of his feet, wants to stop, stop moving forward, or return the same way, but he can't do this, because there is another person behind him, who has been hiding in the dark and waiting for them. Xu Huan has never forgotten this person, even if he hasn't appeared for a long time.
However, even if there is no such factor, Xu Huan asks himself, I am afraid that he will not stop, because he wants to become a spiritual cultivator.
Then he had to metaphorize this journey as a journey to the spiritual world, as a necessary trial to become spiritual, and when he thought about it, it seemed that this journey was not so long and difficult.
But...... Xu Huan sighed and sighed, "Why are you so boring? ”
At least there are some small episodes in Fengyang Town that can make the three of them see something new, and forget the distance of the road for a while, but other than that, they are greeted only by the eternally deep sky and the vast mountain road.
Thinking of the episode in Fengyang Town, Xu Huan thought of the Qingyang Sect disciple who died in the ancient temple, and his mind couldn't help but think about the love and hatred hidden behind it, which was still in a mysterious state.
Thinking like this, Xu Huan picked up a stone boredly and threw it forward.
After the stone made a beautiful arc in midair, it did not hit the tree like the previous stone, but fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and then moved forward some distance.
It ended up falling on a cyan object.
Xu Huan, who had been staring at this stone, naturally saw this cyan object as well.
However, some distance away, Xu Huan didn't see what this thing was.
With curiosity, Xu Huan swept away the melancholy and sad boredom, quickened his pace, and soon surpassed Li Xuankong, who glanced at him in surprise.
So he quickly approached the cyan object as well.
Xu Huan, who probably saw the object clearly, couldn't believe it, so he decided to get closer.
So he really saw the cyan object clearly this time.
It was a corpse, a corpse dressed in a green shirt.
...
...
Xu Huan just stood in place and didn't move forward, so Li Xuankong quickly arrived at his side.
Li Xuankong had obviously seen the corpse not far away, even if he didn't get closer and see it thoroughly, but Li Xuankong was very impressed by the familiar green shirt.
Because he had seen this green shirt not long ago.
"Is it a disciple of the Qingyang Sect?" Li Xuankong said.
"It seems so."
"This is the second corpse?" Li Xuankong asked.
However, his voice was extremely soft, and his tone was less like asking someone else, more like asking himself.
Wang Qian, who came later, also saw this corpse, he raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, and said, "How can there be such a coincidental thing in the world?" ”
"That's how it happened." Xu Huan said.
"I just saw you throw a stone, could it be that you stoned it to death?"
Xu Huan rolled his eyes and saw that the two of them were already approaching, so he tried to slowly approach the corpse.
The corpse was extremely neatly dressed, and there was no sign of a fight, and there were some dried blood stains on its hands, but the clothes were unexpectedly clean except for the dust in the mountains.
Looking at the blackened bloodstains on his hands, Xu Huan guessed that this person should have been dead for a long time, but there were no flies and insects near his corpse that had been placed next to the corpse in the mountains for a long time.
There was dust but dirt around him, so he lay motionless on the ground with nothing but dust and dirt.
"There is no blood on his clothes, could it be that his death method is different from that of that Qingyang Sect disciple in Fengyang Town?" Xu Huan wondered.
"If that's the case, why did the bodies of two Qingyang Sect disciples appear at the same time?" Li Xuankong was also puzzled.
Puzzled, they decided to take a closer look.
The Qingyang Sect disciple was lying reclining relative to them, and from a distance, they could only see each other's feet and the left half of their bodies.
But after getting closer, the other party's whole person was reflected in his eyes.
"The scar on his neck is the same as that disciple in Fengyang Town." Xu Huan saw the man's neck at a glance, and then he continued to look up.
However, when Xu Huan saw the other party's face, his pupils suddenly shrank.
As if he thought he had seen it wrong, or remembered the face wrongly, Xu Huan looked at it again.
However, the face, along with the scars on the face, and the injuries on the head, were almost the same.
Xu Huan looked the corpse up and down repeatedly in shock, subconsciously took a step back, and shouted at Li Xuankong who was standing behind him: "This is the same person!" ”
