Aside from the leaves that blocked his vision, what Lu Xuan saw was not a beast or a monster in the mountains, but what he saw was Lu Zhaozhao, who was traveling all the way.

"Sister Zhaozhao!" Ah Lai's eyes widened, he didn't know why Sister Zhaozhao came here.

Under normal circumstances, he and Brother Lu went to light a fire and fetch water, and when they left for a short time, Lu Zhaozhao would wait quietly in place.

They won't be too far away, as long as there is something, Lu Zhaozhao can hear it when he shouts.

Ah Lai didn't think much about it, and just wanted to go up and stop Lu Zhaozhao, but Lu Xuan grabbed his arm.

"Wait, there's something wrong with her."

Lu Xuan's brows were tightly wrinkled together, and a line of small golden words appeared in his eyes-

"Tun hexagram - surviving in danger."

Ah Lai pursed his lips, he also saw that something was wrong, Lu Zhaozhao, who needed his own support for his actions on weekdays, was now walking in the mountains and forests, and he could perfectly avoid any obstacles, as if she had grown eyes.

Lu Xuan didn't hesitate and said softly: "Follow her." ”

The two of them followed behind Lu Zhaozhao and kept a certain distance.

Watching Lu Zhaozhao go farther and farther, Lu Xuan's tightly locked brows never let go.

When he was a child, he heard the old man mention that it was easy to encounter unclean things in the mountains and forests, and he lost his mind.

Most of these conditions are called evil spirits.

And Lu Zhaozhao's current situation is basically no different from what the old people described.

Before figuring out the situation, Lu Xuan didn't plan to rush up to wake up Lu Zhaozhao.

After walking for hundreds of steps, a cave hidden by grass and trees suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xuan's eyes.

The entrance to the cave is very large, about thirty zhang, revealing a faint light from the inside, accompanied by a gust of cold breeze blowing on the stone wall in the cave, faintly can hear the sound of screaming like a ghost, some of the stones around it seem to have weathered, and cracks appear on it.

Lu Zhaozhao walked at the entrance of the cave, stood for a while, and then walked in under the gaze of the two people.

Lu Xuan held the copper coin sword in his right hand, and held the "Tibetan Heart Sutra" in his left hand and whispered: "You wait for me outside, if we don't come out for a long time, you can leave here quickly." ”

Ah Lai's lips were a little pale, but along the way, his psychological quality was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so he just instructed: "Brother Lu, you have to be careful." ”

Lu Xuan nodded and walked into the cave from the mountain forest.

The inside of the cavern is not as dark as it seems, there should be a natural vent above the interior that allows sunlight to let in, but the smell of decay is always floating in the air.

After entering the cave, Lu Xuan didn't see Lu Zhaozhao's figure.

Out of prudence, he leaned his back against the rock wall and slowly advanced, and after about ten breaths, there was a fork in the hole where there was originally only one passage, and after seeing the footprints left on the soft dirt ground, Lu Xuan's eyes were a little more puzzled.

The footprints on the ground are not left by Lu Zhaozhao alone, they look intricate, and there should be many people who have been here.

But in this deep mountain and old forest, who will come here?

You must know that in his speculation, it is very likely that the people of Great Qi have entered the Elysium.

Could it be the people of the Heavenly Prison? 、

But why did they come back here?

Lu Xuan guessed in his heart, and couldn't help but clench the copper coin sword in his hand.

After choosing a wider passage, Lu Xuanshen walked in with a shallow foot, the oncoming cold wind carried a chill, the weeds growing on the road wet the trouser legs, the weathering of the rock walls on both sides became more and more serious, and from time to time there were gravel falling down.

In the dim corner ahead, there was a dark yellow glow that looked like a faint firelight.

When he got closer, Lu Xuan found that there was an incense case here, the silver on it was full of fresh melons and fruits, the black wooden blocks pressed a few pieces of yellow paper, and two candles that were red like flesh and blood were burning, and the faint fire was swaying in the cool breeze, but it was not extinguished.

Lu Xuan suppressed the doubts in his heart, raised his head and looked at the wall behind the incense case, this wall is not weathered, it is depicted with human patterns, they beat gongs and drums, beaming, eight people carrying a sedan chair, it looks like a scene of welcoming relatives.

Who is this paying tribute to?

Or what folk customs?

Lu Xuan guessed in his heart, and touched the sacrifice on the incense table a little, and the touch was very real.

Are there other people living in this forest?

Lu Xuan felt a little uneasy in his heart, he was about to turn around and go back to the previous fork in the road to look for Lu Zhaozhao, but there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

Lu Xuan only felt a chill behind him, and turned back suddenly with his sword, but what he saw was Lu Zhaozhao with a pale face.

"Brother Lu, is that you?" The other party seemed to ask tentatively.

Lu Xuan's breath stagnated, and in the eyes of the mandarin duck, Lu Zhaozhao was still his original appearance: "Let's go, get out of here first, and talk about something when you go out." ”

Lu Xuan couldn't help but say that as soon as he grabbed Lu Zhaozhao's hand, he walked out, perhaps because of a lot of cold in his palms, he felt a little cold inexplicably, deep into the bone marrow.

After Lu Xuan and Lu Zhaozhao came out, Ah Lai, who was hiding behind the bushes, poked his head out and shouted from afar: "Brother Lu? ”

Lu Xuan glanced at him and motioned for Ah Lai to follow him.

The three of them walked for almost half an hour, and Lu Xuan let go of Lu Zhaozhao's hand and asked coldly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"What's wrong? Brother Lu, am I not waiting for you to hunt? There was a bit of confusion in Lu Zhaozhao's voice.

Ah Lai was stunned: "Sister Zhaozhao, you just left by yourself!" ”

Lu Xuan stood aside and looked at Lu Zhaozhao's expression, but the other party only frowned, and asked suspiciously: "I remember that I have been sitting on the stone, and when I heard a voice nearby, I thought you were back." ”

Ah came to look at Lu Zhaozhao, with a little horror in his eyes, and subconsciously took a step back.

Lu Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and after a short period of thought, he said slowly: "It should be that we are wrong." ”

"Brother Lu, did something happen?" Lu Zhaozhao asked puzzled.

Lu Xuan gently patted Lu Zhaozhao's shoulder, and said softly: "It's nothing, give me the burden on your back, you have been lucky to carry it along the way." ”

"Brother Lu, it's okay. I can just have some clothes and food, and it's not heavy. A smile appeared on Lu Zhaozhao's face.

Seeing that the other party refused, Lu Xuan didn't say much, but asked Ah Lai to lead Lu Zhaozhao to continue on his way, while he walked behind them, once something happened, he could react as quickly as possible.

After eating lunch at noon, Lu Xuan stretched his waist and pretended to shout casually: "Ah Lai, let's go and release the water." ”

"Oh."

Ah Lai followed him, and the two of them came to the back of a mountain forest, where Lu Zhaozhao could just be seen, and Ah Lai asked nervously: "Brother Lu, Sister Zhaozhao, what's wrong, she doesn't seem to remember what just happened." ”

Lu Xuan sighed slightly: "In the past few days, the two of us have taken turns keeping vigil, paying attention to Zhaozhao, there may be some evil that has entangled us." ”

Ah Lai nodded heavily.

"By the way, there may be a village around here, and we'll find a lower place to go down the mountain later."
