Chapter Ninety-Six: First Exploration of Peach Blossom Island
Chapter Ninety-Six: First Exploration of Peach Blossom Island
Yilan woke up elsewhere.
The morning light shines brightly, and I see the simple yellow beams and green tiles.
The wooden door is half-open, and bows and arrows are placed on the table top by the window.
Remembering yesterday's danger, she sat up suddenly.
"Are you awake?" Hitomi walked in with a bowl of hot soup.
"Is that you?" Yilan asked in surprise, "What about Lord Yan?"
"I was rescued by the people who stayed in the palace for a long time. Li Hitomi handed the hot soup to her, "Girl, you have suffered some shocks, although the injury is not serious, you must rest for three or two days to recover." ”
Yi Lan's heart was a little relieved, but he was a little puzzled, "Did you save me?"
Li's eyes flashed slightly, shook his head and said, "Although the people who stayed in the palace for a long time tried their best to encircle and suppress it, but the monster was fierce and abnormal, and it was still escaped by it, I just stayed to search and found you, girl." ”
The situation was chaotic and dangerous that day, and this weak boy was able to muster up the courage to stay in this wilderness, Yilan looked at him with great gratitude, "I see, it's thanks to you for saving me here." She tilted her ears slightly, and was quiet all around, only hearing the birds and insects, and not the noisy human voices.
"This is an empty house near the forest, borrowed to rest, and the girl can return to Kyoto after she has recovered from her wounds. Litong smiled and said, "Women are weak, but you are very strong, girls." ”
Yi Lan lowered his eyebrows and smiled humbly, "Little brother praises, the small families of the poor family are not so exquisite, they are just vulgar." ”
"The girl's speech and demeanor are noble and elegant, and she is clearly the bearing of a wealthy family. Li Hitomi said lonely, "Naturally, people like me can't get along." ”
"Where is it as you said, I'm just a little girl next to the nobleman, if you don't give up, you can call me a sister." ”
"Really?" Li's eyes lit up, "Then I'll call you Sister Lan." ”
"Okay, then you are my little brother. Yi Lan was happy, "In addition to your brother, do you have any relatives next to you?"
Li Tong shook his head and looked gloomy, "My younger brother's parents died early, and I only depend on my brother for my life. ”
Yilan felt pity, "Then what are your plans for the future?"
Li Tong said melancholy, "If I really can't find my brother, and there is chaos in this world, I can only go to the army or ...... Find a good family to sell yourself as a slave, and try to settle down and live in peace. ”
Yi Lan also felt heavy, and sighed faintly, "Those who disappeared seem to have been killed by this monster, your brother may not be killed, you should stay in Kyoto for a while, and wait for the news of the long stay in the palace." ”
Li Hitomi said in a hoarse voice, "The gods protect Sister Lan's little brother and he can be safe and sound, but I don't know why there are such monsters in the suburbs of Beijing!"
Yi Lan naturally didn't understand, "This may be what people often say about the poor destiny of heaven and the rampant demons!"
The two of them gave each other a few words of encouragement, which made Lingding's heart find some comfort.
She rested here for two days, and the injuries on her body were no longer serious, so she cleaned in the house, the sky was high and the warm breeze was quiet, in this lonely house, looking at the fish swimming in the clear pond, it made her have a little escape from the world.
Although this courtyard is simple, it is very clean, and the bamboo and wood doors and curtains are as new.
Yi Lan's heart was slightly suspicious, and he left the pupil to carry the water into the inner road, "Why did Sister Lan get up, she really couldn't lie down and walked around, I will do these jobs." ”
Yilan smiled slightly, "Do this work slowly and not tired, where did you get this water?"
Li Tong wiped a handful of sweat and said, "There is a lake two or three miles away, clean and thorough!" He glanced at Yilan and smiled, "There is a fishing rod in the stove room, I thought that there must be a water source nearby, and I went out to look for it, and sure enough, I found it." ”
Yilan said, "You are really clever, if it weren't for that monster doing evil, this place would really be beautiful and livable." ”
Li's eyes turned slightly, "If Sister Lan is depressed, I'll go out for a walk with you, okay?"
Yilan thought for a moment and said, "Little brother, how far is that forest from here?"
Li Hitomi was surprised, "Why does Sister Lan still want to go to that forest?"
"Little brother, I always think it's a little weird here, it's good to go back and take a look!"
"What else does Sister Lan want to see? The people of Changliu Mansion have already cleared the forest, and you can't find anything, not to mention that monster will appear at any time, isn't it dangerous?"
Yilan's heart moved, "You said that the people of Changliu Mansion cleaned up the forest...... she clearly remembered that Li Hitomi said that he stayed to search and found her.
"Sister Lan, I don't want you to take any more risks!"
Yilan suppressed the suspicions in his heart and said resolutely, "Thousands of lives are at stake, and you can't obey power." ”
Li Hitomi couldn't stop her and said, "That'...... Then I'll go and prepare the blade, Sister Lan, wait a minute!"
When he returned, Yilan had fainted on the ground, and two masked men knelt on one knee beside him.
"Lord Litong, this woman is afraid that she is suspicious of this matter, how should I deal with it?"
Without answering, he pondered for a moment and asked, "What's the news from the Changliu Waiting Mansion?"
"Back to my lord, the news that the monster wounded the prisoner and escaped has come out, and Yan Shao will die when he carries him back to Changliu Mansion, and everything is under control. ”
Li Tong's face was gloomy, "Very good, the rebels are gathered around, but the Mo Que, who is valued by the national teacher, has encountered obstacles and has to delay for a while before he can become an army, stay for a long time to hold heavy troops, and borrow him to fight against the rebels, you all be cautious, don't let him catch the handle, and ruin the plan." ”
"The rebels are rampant, and they are afraid that they will not take care of such miscellaneous things as monsters hurting people for a long time!"
Li Tong glanced at Yi Lan on the ground, "Find out who is behind this woman, as for herself, she will be detained here first, guarded, not to be humiliated, and not to reveal my identity, you know what to do." ”
"Yes, sir. ”

There are thousands of islands in the East China Sea, and it took some time for Ji Tang and the Hidden Ghost to find it according to the guidance of the demons.
Peach Blossom Island is beautiful and intoxicating.
They went up to Peach Blossom Island and moved in the sea of peach forests, but this peach forest seemed to be endless, and they couldn't finish it.
Ji Tang simply leaned on a peach tree and watched the hidden ghost Dongtu rush west, he thought to himself, this peach blossom island really belongs to the realm of the gods, it seems that they are trapped on the island, but in fact, they are just wandering on the border and cannot enter.
When the hidden ghost returned without success, Ji Tang said with a smile, "All the formations or hallucinations, or disturbing people's minds, are all affected by the uncertainty of reality and reality, although the magic is wonderful, the reason is also in it, you are so chaotic, you will only fall into its tricks." ”
The hidden ghost rolled his eyes, "Speaking of the head, it is the way, do you have the ability to break the formation?"
Ji Tang took up the ice spirit, froze the twelve peach trees, looked up at the sky and said, "This son can only try his best." ”
Having said that, I saw him take these twelve frozen trees as the center, walking back and forth between the two and counting the number of steps.
The hidden ghost was impatient, thinking that he was playing tricks, so he was going to break in again.
Ji Tang said suddenly, "Look where the ice melts faster!"
The hidden ghost was stunned for a moment, and although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still stepped forward to inspect according to what he said, "It's not all hard and erect, where is it melting?"
Ji Tang sighed and said, "This position is hidden in the yin and yang, it seems that if you want to break the formation, you have to wait for the day." ”
"Ji Tang, do you really understand or fake your pretense? I haven't heard of what Xuanmen Formation Technique you know. ”
Ji Tang laughed and said, "Then do you know that my ice spirit is determined to practice Yin and Yang Technique, although I have only participated in the three bureaus of heaven, earth and man, but Yin and Yang techniques are connected, even if I have never practiced the Xuanmen Array Technique, I can also see some clues through the changes of Yin and Yang." ”
The Hidden Ghost snorted, "I don't think it's useful. ”
Ji Tang shrugged his shoulders and said in his heart, "This brute only relies on instinct, naturally he doesn't understand the subtleties of comprehending the mental method and borrowing all things, and he has no abilities but no brains. ”
After another two hours, Ji Tang went to inspect again, and the ice in the 149th rank had begun to melt, and frost was seen on the rest of the ice.
Seeing this, Ji Tang pinched his fingers and glanced at the hidden ghost, "Come with me! ”
He made some progress in front of him, and although he made mistakes, he came out of the way.
On this road, the pink mist rises and falls, and it can only be seen five feet in front of him, Ji Tang only feels that his feet are not on the ground, and this road also seems to float like the fog, he stopped and looked back, but the hidden ghost did not even see a shadow.
Peach petals flew in pieces, a few of them were stained on the placket of his clothes, Ji Tang picked up a petal, but saw that the road under his feet was clean, he had something in his eyes, he popped out the petals in his hand, and his eyes followed, seeing it fall on the ground next to the road, only for a while, it gradually disappeared.
Ji Tang hurriedly lowered his body and reached out to find the landing point of the petals.
The pink mist was mixed together, and in an instant, he actually looked at his reflection, his heart was shocked, but his feet flickered and his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell headlong.
The sound of falling into the water, Ji Tang touched the water, and saw that his ten thousand dark and cold cables were densely woven into a net, and he was sinking into the net, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly paddled his limbs and floated upward.
But the cold rope moved, and the originally still waters suddenly rushed out of several turbulent undercurrents, and he could no longer control his body to grasp the direction, and was washed into a daze and sank downward.
Under the faint and cold cable, there were still deeper dark places, he vaguely saw two black shadows with high outlines, their eyes were like cold electricity, and they threw a cold and disdainful glance at him, one of them raised his hand and waved, Ji Tang only felt a strong rush, the internal organs seemed to be squeezed into one place, and a sweet mouth in his throat spewed out a blood mist, but the person was wrapped in another undercurrent and rushed to another place.
"The demon eyeliner has also been found, it's time!"
"The time has come. ”
