The night is vast and covers the land.

Lin Yue lazily sat on the recliner in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, looking up at the stars in the depths of the dark firmament.

Although I can't remember what the starry sky of the earth looked like in my previous life, this starry night sky looks similar.

I had some insomnia tonight.

No way.

Xia Lie, the prince who couldn't be killed or let go, made him depressed for three months, and during this time, he lived carefully every day, racking his brains to think about how to hide from others, whether there were any flaws, and how to deal with possible problems......

But he also knew in his heart that no matter how he thought about countermeasures, he could only delay the crisis for the time being, and the day would eventually usher in the outbreak.

For three months, there was no hope of breaking the predicament, and I had to take calming medicine every night to fall asleep.

Otherwise, once the mental state deteriorates, and it happens to start with Xia Lie's disappearance, it may be suspected.

The state of mind struggling in this desperate situation can be imagined.

Now that he finally has a glimmer of hope, it is like finding a ray of light in the dark, which also eases Lin Yue's mood a lot.

At least there's a way forward.

"Nine days to go...... No, in eight days, she will have a bloodline awakening. ”

Lin Yue's fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest of the recliner, and he thought silently in his heart, "Before her bloodline awakens, she must find a way to enter the cave mansion, but there are two difficulties that need to be solved." ”

"One, that cave is in a barren mountain outside the city, only more than twenty miles away from Qingdu, first of all, I have to be able to leave Qingdu."

Lin Yue frowned, "However, if I leave Qingdu rashly, it will be a little too obvious." ”

Although Baili Fengzhi has never looked for him again, he has also deliberately tried these days, and no one is monitoring him, so he obviously has no suspicions about him.

But after all, he is a former 'suspect', even if the suspicion is temporarily eliminated, it is only temporary, and it is impossible for Baili Fengzhi to really rest assured of him.

If he suddenly leaves Qingdu, he will naturally attract attention.

Once someone follows him, if he dares to go to that cave, won't it increase the suspicion?

"If you use the appearance of sentient beings, it is very easy to get out of the city, and the way out of the city is not difficult to solve, but the appearance of sentient beings can only be used by one person......"

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the room behind him again, and immediately gave up this idea.

It was impossible for him to let Su Ziqiu change back to his original state and leave him alone in Qingdu.

If it is discovered, it will be completely finished.

Moreover, he had always suspected that Baili Fengzhi had a way to search for Xia Lie's aura, but it was only because Xia Lie's aura had been changed that she couldn't find it.

However, if he let Su Ziqiu change back to his original state, wouldn't he be killing himself?

"That's right."

Lin Yue's heart suddenly moved, and an idea flashed through his mind: "In seven days, it will be the Double Ninth Festival in early September!" ”

I don't know if it's a coincidence of the parallel world or what's going on, this Xianxia Dynasty world also has the Double Ninth Festival.

After all, even the Mid-Autumn Festival is there, and it is not surprising that there is a Chung Yeung Festival.

Nine is the yang number, and ninety-nine is the two yang numbers, so it is called 'double yang'.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, whether it is a small border town such as the Central Plains or Liangzhou, there has always been the custom of climbing high to pray for blessings, worship gods and ancestors.

At that time, many people in Qingdu will go out of the city, sweep the tombs to worship their ancestors, and climb the mountain to pray for blessings.

It's a great opportunity to get out of town.

It would be normal to get out of the city that day, and it would be true that he would need to climb the mountain, just so that he could get to the hidden cave.

Perhaps, Baili Fengzhi may not send someone to follow him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue's eyes couldn't help but gradually light up, and then calmed down again: "However, it is also possible for Baili Fengzhi to send someone to follow him, and he has to think about how to deal with it." ”

In short, he has already decided to leave the city on the day of the Double Ninth Festival.

"The second difficulty is to open the secret door of the cave in the cave."

Lin Yue leaned back on the recliner, slowly closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the scene he saw in the cave that day.

Although he had brought a fire fold with him, it was still too dim, and he didn't notice what the stone wall at the end of the cave was, and he could only make sure that there was a relatively flat stone wall.

"I've read a lot of books recently, but I know the Luo Shu numbers of the Nine Palaces Gossip."

Lin Yue opened his eyes and frowned slightly, "But the original owner of the cave must slap the stone wall with his bare hands to open the secret door of the cave?" ”

He wasn't even sure who the original owner of the cave was.

In the depths of the cave were two corpses, and he found the treasure of the appearance of beings in the body of one of them.

If it weren't for these two corpses of the original owner of the cave, would it be possible to find the real owner of the cave?

These are all unknowns.

"Either way, at least there's a try."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, "Try to deduce the details and possibilities these days...... Everything depends on the day of the Chung Yeung Festival. ”

……

Time passed day by day, Lin Yue still maintained the habit of going to the Taoist library to read books every day, as little as possible to avoid attracting attention.

Finally, Qingdu ushered in the Double Ninth Festival in the fifteenth year of Qingyuan.

Stealing the sky for thousands of years, dyeing the world yellow for nine days.

In this world, chrysanthemums are just a noble flower, and actions such as sipping chrysanthemums, eating chrysanthemums, and inserting chrysanthemums will not make people have any gratuitous associations.

Qingdu is located in the northwest of Liangzhou, although the climate is quite dry, but the chrysanthemum is very drought tolerant, so the number of chrysanthemum species planted near Qingdu is also quite large.

Today's Qingdu has long been dotted with chrysanthemums.

The fashion of stepping on autumn, ascending, appreciating chrysanthemums has long been prevalent, many people are relatives and friends collectively go out of the city to play, spread grass in the mountains and fields for the feast to drink, climb high and overlook the distance with food and wine, the scale is quite spectacular.

Because there were too many people going out of the city today, the city guards at the gates of Qingdu only briefly checked the road guide and let the people out.

Just after the end of the day.

In the sound of the rolling carriage, a rather simple gray canopy double-wheeled carriage swayed from the west gate of Qingdu.

In the front room of the carriage sat a young man in a coarse cloth robe, with a handsome face and a smile on his lips, and his hands slightly rusty on the reins, driving the one-horse carriage.

On the official road, from time to time, a carriage galloped past him, leaving his carriage behind, or a rich boy with a fat horse and a light fur galloped all the way, easily overtaking him.

"It's slow enough."

Lin Yue glanced at the horse pulling the cart in front of him a little helplessly, although he was a little thinner and the speed of pulling the cart was not fast, but it was cheaper, and it only cost four dollars of silver to rent a day.

There are too many people renting carriages today, and if it weren't for the people he knew in the carriage shop, I am afraid that he would not even be able to rent this broken car.

Although he has a lot of silver, he can rent it better, but it is not convenient to take it out at the moment.

It doesn't fit the person.

This kind of knot, or try not to attract attention.

After getting away from the city gate, Lin Yue opened the curtain of the carriage again, and turned his head to look at Su Ziqiu who was lying in the carriage.

The sleepy soul water that was fed to her last night had not yet arrived, and she was still in a coma at this time, and it was estimated that it would take at least two or three hours to wake up.

It was only twenty miles away from the mountain where the cave was located.

A large part of the road is an official road, and it will not take long, and the second half of the mountain road, although it is a little rougher, will not take long, and it will take less than an hour to reach the vicinity of the mountain.

……

The sun is in the middle of the sky, and the autumn wind is gradually rising.

At this time, thousands of miles of golden sky, the autumn wind is like a yellow, and the heavy clouds are like a painting note, smearing a wonderful danqing that the clouds open and see the sun.

Under the high autumn sun, the carriage came to a mountain wilderness.

The rugged mountain road caused the carriage to jolt for a long time, and finally stopped at the foot of a low mountain.

"It's finally here."

Lin Yue pulled the reins hard, stopped the carriage, and observed the surroundings.

This mountain is obviously inaccessible, and I didn't see any tourists walking in autumn on the way.

When he was sure that there was no one, he drove into a wide poplar forest, and only after a certain distance did he stop the carriage and tie it to a tall poplar tree.

This was done just to hide the carriage.

If he is tied to the official road, it is easy to be discovered by passers-by, and if he steals the carriage while he is away, then he will have to walk back.

"It's time to go."

Lin Yue lifted the curtain of the carriage, leaned into the carriage, took out half of the blue-gray pill from his arms and put it in his mouth, and then pretended to gently take the unconscious Su Ziqiu down from the carriage, and then carried her behind him.

In the past three months, Su Ziqiu hasn't eaten well, and he is just vegetable porridge with medicinal powder all day long, so he is naturally extremely thin and incredibly lightweight.

is about 1.6 meters tall, only about 60 pounds.

If it weren't for the miracle of royal blood, I'm afraid she would have died a long time ago.

Lin Yue has practiced the health preservation method of Taoist Xuanmen, martial arts practice and breathing and breathing methods are first-class, his body is much better than ordinary people, and his physical strength is also excellent, and it is not difficult to climb the mountain with a sixty-pound person on his back.

The only thing left in the poplar forest is the movement of fallen leaves when they are trampled to pieces.

The sunlight filtered through the foliage, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

The autumn wind blew suddenly, and the broken shadows swayed endlessly.

Lin Yue carried the unconscious Su Ziqiu on his back, and after walking silently in the poplar forest for a while, his steps suddenly slowed down, his body trembled slightly, and he knelt down on one knee.

The next moment, his face suddenly turned pale, and he opened his mouth to breathe, but he couldn't breathe.

Immediately, he rolled his eyes, fell headlong, and lay sideways on the ground full of fallen leaves.

And Su Ziqiu also fell to the side.

The two lay silently on the ground, motionless, like two corpses.

Only the autumn wind blows gently, stirring the branches and leaves.

The shadows of the trees fade.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Su Ziqiu slowly opened his eyes and found that what was in front of him was not the familiar and hateful curtain, but a mottled branch and leaf that blocked the sun.

She froze for a moment, then turned her head with great effort to look to the side, and found herself in a forest of aspen trees.

"It's ...... Where is it? ”

Su Ziqiu opened his mouth, barely making a sound so faint that he could barely hear it.

She reluctantly turned her head to look in the other direction, and suddenly found a familiar figure in her afterglow.

It was Lin Yue, lying unconscious not far from her.

Su Ziqiu couldn't help but be stunned.

This damn guy, how did he fall?

She took a closer look and found that Lin Yue's face was pale, almost bloodless, and he was lying on the ground motionless.

What's going on?

Su Ziqiu was a little dazed in his heart, but he couldn't help but get excited.

Although I don't know what the situation is, this guy has become like this now, which is a great opportunity for her to escape!

She tried to turn over, but her whole body was paralyzed, and her legs were paraplegic because of her body fall, and she couldn't move.

This is also the reason why she did not choose to take the opportunity to kill Lin Yue.

Su Ziqiu gritted his teeth, tried his best to turn himself over, and then began to try to support his body with his weak arms, trying to drag and slowly escape.

But with her current strength, she can't support her body at all.

I saw that it took her a long time to work, and she only barely crawled forward...... A foot away.

Su Ziqiu looked at Lin Yue again, confirmed that he hadn't woken up yet, and continued to crawl forward.

At least she could move, and there was hope of escaping.

Another half of the day passed.

After Su Ziqiu climbed out for another half a foot, he suddenly heard the sound of squeezing fallen leaves behind him, and his face couldn't help but stiffen.

"You're too slow, aren't you?"

Hear a familiar and hateful voice behind her, followed by a sound of footsteps approaching her.

Then, one foot stepped on her back, and suddenly her barely supported body was completely crushed.

Su Ziqiu trembled slightly, desperate and resentful, and then felt that his body was turned around, and Lin Yue's face appeared in front of him again.

"For so long, you've climbed out so much?"

Lin Yue looked at her with a mocking smile, then squatted down and patted off the fallen leaves and dust on her body casually.

- It's not to help her clean up, but mainly to carry her up the mountain later.

"You deliberately pretended to be unconscious?" Su Ziqiu gritted his teeth and stared at him deadly.

"Just woke up a little earlier than you."

Lin Yue glanced at her casually, and began to slap the dust and fallen leaves on his body again.

"What do you mean?" Su Ziqiu's voice was weak, but he could still hear the hatred that came from his bones.

After cleaning up, Lin Yue squatted beside her and said with a smile: "You have been in a coma every day these days, you may not know that the great commander of the Northwest Pass, Baili Fengzhi, she came to Qingdu to look for you." ”

"Baili Fengzhi?" Su Ziqiu was stunned.

Although there was a glimmer of hope in her heart, she did not feel that there was anything to be happy about.

Since this cautious and cunning pariah dared to tell her, it must be sure that she would not be able to see Baili Fengzhi, otherwise with her temperament, it would be impossible for her to know a little bit.

His sole purpose in letting her know these things was to torture her spirit.

- Hope is the most beautiful and torturous existence.

Lin Yue took out a black san from the cuff, pinched Su Ziqiu's cheek, and forcibly stuffed the black san into it, and then carried her up.

While walking deep into the mountains and forests, he said casually, "Did you disappoint you?" I was just worried that Baili Fengzhi would send someone to follow me, so I pretended to be in a coma and pretended to be in a near-death state to test if there was a stalker. ”

If Baili Fengzhi sent someone to follow him, he naturally didn't want him to leave Qingdu, and he wouldn't let him die easily.

Therefore, Lin Yue took half a 'Turtle Breath Dispersion' to weaken his breathing and heartbeat, so as to test whether there was a stalker.

This elixir was obtained by him through a one-ring-level secret.

Turtle Breath Scatter is a miracle medicine refined by Taoist practitioners, although it is not a elixir, but it is also extremely rare.

This medicine can be used when the body is highly toxic, greatly reducing breathing and heartbeat, and blood flow will also slow down, as if in a near-death state, so as to delay the onset of toxin and buy time to save lives.

He only took half of it, which lasted for about an hour.

If there is really a stalker sent by Baili Fengzhi, it must be a martial artist with extremely high martial arts, once he is found to have fallen, even if he is separated by a distance, it should be able to see that he is in a near-death state.

When the time comes, in order to save him or find out his situation, he will naturally appear.

"It's a pity that this scene is in vain."

Lin Yue sighed regretfully: "It seems that Baili Fengzhi really thinks that my suspicion is so low that it can be ignored, and he didn't send someone to follow him, and the few backhands I prepared were useless." ”

He was also a little surprised, Baili Fengzhi actually believed him more than he expected?

Perhaps, it's because ......

Lin Yue suddenly recalled the strange behaviors after Baili Fengzhi and Tu Laodao had a private conversation with Tu Lao Dao on the day of the prison.

Not only did they probe his body, but they also cut through his palm.

It's weird.

I don't know what the old drunkard said to Baili Fengzhi?

With doubts in his heart, Lin Yue didn't bother to talk about anything, carried Su Ziqiu all the way, and walked quietly and wordlessly towards the mountain.

Although the trail is quite rough, the low mountain is relatively gentle and easy to climb.

In less than half an hour, Lin Yue had already reached the mountainside, and according to the route he had walked last time, he pushed aside clumps of tall weeds, and finally came to a natural stone forest.

"It's almost there."

Lin Yue tilted his head slightly, glanced at Su Ziqiu behind him with his spare eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It's time for you to resume your status as a noble prince, Your Highness Xia Honglie."
