Chapter Seventy-Two: The Otherworld in the Mountains

Early the next morning, Shen Li and the three of them set off for Xuanwu Mountain. Because there is a royal dragon vein hidden in this mountain, listening to the words of the second brother yesterday is also dangerous, and I don't even know if there is a road to go. So the three of them discussed it and decided to go on foot, leaving the coachman here to guard the carriage and waiting for them to return.

After walking out of Xuanyou Village for a while, there was not even a path paved with stones. Shen Li followed the direction of the mountain, taking Mu Yan and Shen Yan to step on the weeds all the way. After a while, a large forest appeared in front of the three of them. It was a clear day, but somehow, there was not a single light in the woods in front of me. The black oppression brings a sense of oppression, and anyone who sees it will feel that this forest is not peaceful.

At this time, Shen Yan quietly pulled Shen Li aside and whispered to him, "Third brother, if you enter this forest, danger will come." Not to mention the men and horses who are following us, just looking at this forest is dangerous enough. The father was so brave and good at fighting, and he almost died in it back then. Since I want to help you, I naturally want to go in with you. But why do you want to take Mu Yan with you, and wouldn't it be good for her to wait for us in the village with the coachman?"

Shen Li's brows furrowed when he heard this, "Do you think I haven't thought about this problem?" I told her this morning, but she didn't listen. I'll tell you the truth, the reason why we went so smoothly was because of the guidance of a jade pendant around her neck. You also know about the loss of the Mu family's Imperial Soul Wall, Yan'er suspected that the Imperial Soul Wall might have something to do with the map pointed by Yu Pei, so she asked me to come out with her. You also know her temperament, since she has already followed here, how can she go back obediently?"

"She didn't suspect that the Imperial Soul Wall was in the Xuanwu Mountain, did she? How could this be? Did the High Priest also come here during his lifetime?"

Shen Yan was a little dazed, and Shen Li didn't know much, so he only shook his head and said: "What she believes will not change, in short, we should be more careful along the way." ”

"yes, I see. ”

Shen Yan nodded, and as soon as he finished saying this, he heard Mu Yan's voice coming. "What are you two talking about? Otherwise, it will be dark, and we will not be able to walk a single step. ”

After Mu Yan finished saying this, the person had already turned around and walked into the forest. Shen Li and Shen Yan were still behind, just looking at her as if she had only walked a few steps, her body melted into the darkness, and the whole person had disappeared. This situation surprised both brothers, and they hurriedly stepped forward.

The two walked into the forest at the same time, and at a glance they saw Mu Yan standing stupidly in front of him. Shen Yan frowned angrily, and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder as he walked towards her.

"Wood, don't mess around ...... alone"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yan's eyes suddenly widened. A hand reached over and tugged at his body several steps back.

"Be careful, something is wrong with this forest!"

Shen Li's warning words sounded in his ears, and Shen Yan came back to his senses, but his eyes were still wide, and he looked at Mu Yan who was standing not far away with his back to them in disbelief.

"Third and third brother, did you see it just now......?

He wanted to put his arm on Mu Yan's shoulder and ask her not to walk around alone. But she didn't expect that her hand didn't touch her shoulder, but it went directly through her body. In such a situation, Shen Xiaoqiye, who has traveled outside all the year round and has seen a lot, was really shocked. If it weren't for Shen Li's quick hand to drag him back, he would probably be stunned and didn't know what to do.

"Hee-hee. ”

At this time, the "Mu Yan" in front of her suddenly burst out laughing, only to see her turn her head slightly sideways, and after smiling at Shen Li and Shen Yan, she ran away with a step. Seeing this, Shen Yan subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Shen Li.

"Third brother, what are you doing?"

Shen Li frowned, grabbed Shen Yan's hand and said coldly: "That person is not Mu Yan, didn't you personally touch this hand just now?

After saying this, Shen Li coldly shook off Shen Yan's hand. Shen Yan slapped his head and scolded himself for being stupid. But after thinking about it again, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Where did Mu Yan go? We came in a few steps earlier just now, why did the person disappear in the blink of an eye?"

It's okay not to mention Mu Yan, but as soon as she mentioned her, Shen Li's brows furrowed even tighter. He had long expected that this time he would come to Xuanwu Mountain to be in danger, but he never expected that there would be an accident as soon as he entered the mountain. It seems that what the shopkeeper said is not false, this Xuanwu Mountain is really mysterious.

"Don't worry, the smoke must be nearby, let's look for it slowly. ”

Shen Li was calm and self-controlled, and Shen Yan slowly moved forward step by step. Compared to the sunny day just now, the forest at this moment was dim, as if it had entered another dimension. But even though the sun is not shining in, you can see it very clearly. Not the light of day, but a faint blue light, like the light of some plant in this forest.

"Ah, why are you so slow to come in. ”

Suddenly, Mu Yan's voice suddenly sounded. Shen Li and Shen Yan both looked sideways, only to see Mu Yan walking out of a big tree, smiling exactly like the "Mu Yan" just now. So when she approached, Shen Yan subconsciously stammered: "You, you stop!"

Mu Yan was dazed, blinking and confused. "What's wrong?"

Shen Yan seemed to be very entangled, staring at her for a long time, squeaking for a while without saying anything, only helplessly looking at Shen Li on the side for help.

Shen Li seemed to be thinking, but he was obviously not as flustered as Shen Yan, but stood very calmly and looked at Mu Yan, and said after a while: "Where did you go just now?"

Mu Yan raised his hand and pointed behind him, his eyes flickered and he was a little embarrassed: "Well, as soon as I came in just now, I saw a cute little guy, so I chased after him, but I didn't catch it." Thinking that you had said you wouldn't let me run around, I hurried back. ”

After saying this, Mu Yan clasped his hands together and made a flattering appearance. Because when he asked Shen Li to take her out with him before, he had already promised him not to run around and not to leave his sight. But when she entered the forest, she fouled, remembering that Shen Li had advised her to wait at the inn this morning and not to follow her. So she felt very guilty at this time, and she was also worried that Shen Li would take the opportunity to let her go back.

Seeing this, Shen Li was obviously relieved. Although his face was still ugly, his eyes clearly relaxed his guard.

"Alright, come here. ”

Shen Yan was stunned and spoke, "What, third brother, are you sure that she is real?"

Mu Yan didn't understand what Shen Yan meant by this, and when she heard Shen Li let her pass, she walked to his side with a smile. Seeing that Shen Yan's expression was obviously wrong when he looked at her, he couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the back, and said slightly angrily: "Didn't I just run away for a while, is it necessary to see me as if I had seen a ghost?"

Shen Yan felt that his back was patted, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but lose Mu Yan and rolled his eyes and said, "Master, I really saw a ghost just now!"
