Yaojuan turned around and muttered, "More than three hundred miles away from here?"

She touched her chin with some distress, and said to herself: "If you go to the clouds, it will take about two hours to arrive, and before dark, I will be able to reach Minshan, but my ability to know the way is not good, how to go?"

Bai Qian looked at Yao's expression and asked timidly, "Does the high priest have a way?"

Yaojuan turned around and said, "I'll go to Minshan to have a look." ”

Bai Qian hurriedly pulled Yaojuan's sleeve and said, "No, high priest, you are now in the past, the sky is dark and you can't distinguish the direction, I'm afraid you will get lost in a miasma forest near Minshan." ”

Yaowan sighed and said, "Bai Qian, if you have any words, can't you make it clear at once?"

Bai Qi whispered: "I just remembered." ”

Yaohuan was a little impatient, she frowned, patted Bai Qi, and said softly: "Okay, I'll be careful." ”

Bai Qian wanted to say something, but Yaojuan had already walked out quickly.

The sun faded, and the afterglow of the sky dyed the white clouds with a very beautiful color, and everything around them gradually blurred.

Yao's ability to know the way is not good, it will be dark all around, and everywhere is the same, she didn't dare to go any further, so she had to collect the spell and land in front of a mountain col covered with green moss.

After walking for nearly an hour and a half, but she hadn't seen what Bai Qi said, Yaohuan was a little worried about whether she had gone the wrong way, but now she was still looking for a place to rest, she followed the undulating ridge for a while, and arrived at an open place at the entrance of the col, this place has a wide field of vision, and the surrounding wind and grass are in full view, as long as the rain god is not shaking around here tonight, there should be no big problem to rest here.

She found some dead wood and leaves near the woods not far away, piled them on the ground, and set the spell on fire.

The mountains and forests are silent, and a few birdsongs are heard from time to time, which is particularly abrupt in the lonely four fields.

Yaowan rested for a while, and remembered a story that Yun Zhongjun told her and Qin Bi when she was on the Shanqi Mountain, she said that there is a land lord every two or three hundred miles in the mortal world, most of them are earth immortals, some of them are lazy to compete with other gods in the god world, and some are difficult to grow in cultivation and mana, so they simply stay in the world and be a free and easy immortal, although the god level is no different from the mountain god, but the land is in charge of human affairs, and it is very respected by mortals.

Yaohuan wanted to know if what Yun Zhongjun said was true, so she played with her heart, so she used a spell, pinched a thunderbolt and threw it on the ground.

Sure enough, there was a muffled snort from the ground, and after a while, a gray-faced old man came out of the ground.

He was struck by the thunder pinched by Yao, his whole body was black and not slipping, his hair was like a bamboo shoot in spring, standing straight and straight, just looking at the firelight, he could only see a pair of round eyes.

Yao Yao nodded clearly, and said in her heart: "It turns out that this is the land." ”

The land jumped out and shouted, "Who is it? Who is so blind that he dares to disturb the little old man's sleep?"

Yaohuan looked funny and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The land heard the sound and looked at Yaojuan, maybe he found that there was no one else around, and he soon determined that the culprit who made himself look like a ghost was the woman who leaned forward and leaned back with a smile more than a dozen steps, he slammed the bamboo cane in his hand to the ground, and walked towards Yaohuan angrily.

"Why is the girl laughing?" asked the land, looking at her with straight eyes.

Seeing a pair of boots suddenly appearing not far away, Yaohuan hurriedly suppressed her laughter and stood up, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not careful." ”

The face of the land will be iron-kissed, and even the beard will stand up one by one: "You make me look like this, just say sorry?"

Yaohuan glanced at his dirty clothes, and said seriously: "Then I'll compensate you for a new dress." ”

The land raised the bamboo cane and made a gesture to hit Yaojuan, but Yaohuan hurriedly raised her hand to protect her head and said, "Then what do you want?"

The land gritted his teeth and said: "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous, seeing that you are so young, you are so nonsense, how did your father and mother raise you?"

Yao Wan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted and said: "I'm really sorry, the matter of Fang Cai is all my fault, and I ask the land lord to forgive me." ”

When the land heard Yao's apology, he was no longer angry, he stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, nodded and said: "Since it is an unintentional mistake, the little old man will not pursue it with you, say, who are you? What is the matter with finding the little old man to come out?"

Yaohuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm... The Righteous Daughter of the Emperor of Heaven... of the personal maid. ”

The land was startled, and when he heard the last few words of Yaojuan, he reached out and stroked his chest to smooth his breath.

Maybe he knew Yaojuan's identity, or maybe he was kind-hearted, anyway, the land at this time was much kinder than when he first saw Yaojuan before, like a different person, the land saw Yaojuan's concentration, and hurriedly asked diligently: "It turned out to be a person from the Shanqi Mountain, but which immortal of the Jinwu clan has something that needs Xiao Lao'er's service?"

Yaohuan paused, embarrassed: "There are indeed some things, but ......"

The land hurriedly said: "Girl, don't worry, I have the best heart, little old man, I will definitely serve if there is anything that can be used for me." ”

Yaojuan nodded, and asked unceremoniously: "Is there a Minshan Mountain near here, where is it, and how far can it be reached?"

The land hurriedly turned around, pointed to the southeast direction, and said: "From this direction to go more than 20 miles, there is a forest called a miasma forest, that is the filthy land left in ancient times, surrounded by miasma, the mountain charm is rampant, exclusively for mortals to feed, the night is not passable, the girl wants to think of Minshan, must pass through a miasma forest, after a miasma forest, and then go forward more than ten miles to arrive." ”

Yaojuan asked again: "Is there a tribe of the Baili clan around here?"

The land nodded and said: "There is a mortal tribe in the Yin of Minshan, these days there is a constant shouting and killing on Minshan, as if there is a war, I can't sleep there, so I came here." ”

Yaohuan asked, "I heard that there are no people on Minshan, how can they fight on Minshan?"

The land shrunk his neck and said a little mysteriously: "It's those mortals who are unlucky, trapped in the formation and can't get out." ”

Yaowan frowned and said, "The magic circle, what kind of formation is set up?"

The land shook his head and replied, "Where do mortals have such great ability, as far as I know, it should be the formation of the demon race." ”

Yao Wan exclaimed: "How can it be a demon race, as far as I know, both sides of the war are real mortals. ”

The land said, "Who knows?"

Yaohuan's heart was not good, and in a hurry, she stepped forward and grabbed the beard of the land and said, "You take me to Minshan immediately." ”

The land was in pain, and he hurriedly pointed at Yaojuan and shouted: "You, you, why are you so rude, this little girl? No matter what, the little old man is also a fairy, I saw that you are from the mountain, so I gave you a little thin noodles, you actually kicked your nose on the face, dare to pull the little old man's beard, what is your reason?"

When she heard this, she let go, and then when she took out the white bird from her sleeve, the emperor gave her the edict, handed it to the land, and said, "Look at it for yourself." ”

When the land opened the edict and read it, his face immediately changed, and he knelt down and said, "The little fairy has seen the Heavenly Maiden. ”

Yao Jiao said lightly: "Get up, what you just said is true?"

The land replied, "Indeed." ”

Yaojuan asked: "You are the land here, you should know the situation here well, what way can you get to Minshan?"

The land stood up, lowered his head and said: "Yes, if you want to go to Minshan, you have to go through a miasma forest first, although it is night, but Xiaoxian also has a way to cross that miasma forest, the heavenly maiden followed me, and first drove the clouds to the vicinity of a miasma forest." ”

Yaohuan said, "Okay. ”

After about two cups of tea, the two of them drove the clouds to a miasma forest.

A miasma forest is several feet long, like a moat in front of Yaojiao.

There are many, many half-height ruins in front of the forest, the weeds on it are shaking, as if it has been abandoned for a long time, and then go a few steps inside, there is a square stone, there are several people high, the ashlar is engraved with several big characters of "a miasma forest", perhaps because of the age, the end part of the forest character has been eroded by the wind, and only the upper part is left.

Yaojuan pointed to the stone pillar in front of the forest and said, "This is it? I don't think it's anything special, what kind of way is it?"

The land approached and said respectfully: "It's simple, this forest is full of miasma all the year round, and there are some invisible things gathered in it, you are a heavenly maiden, as long as you drip a few drops of your blood on this stone pillar, let the demons in the forest smell it, they will not dare to make a mistake, they will obediently let go." ”

Yaohuan shouted, "What, I need my blood to pass?"

Yaojuan looked at the land, and suddenly closed her mouth, he didn't know his true identity before, so it didn't matter what happened, but she had already read the edict to the land, and she couldn't say what she shouldn't say, and she couldn't say anything that didn't match her identity.

Yaojuan fixed her expression and said with difficulty: "I know, isn't it just a little blood?" ”

After speaking, she gritted her teeth, raised one hand with a hideous face, and swiped it at her other hand, and a bloody mark immediately appeared in the palm of her hand.

Yao Wan approached the stone pillar, lowered her hand, and let her own blood flow onto the stone pillar.

After a while, Yao's wound gradually coagulated, no longer bleeding, and she asked the land with a pale face: "Is it okay now?"

She felt like her blood was running dry.

The land hurriedly said: "Okay, you can pass, and when it passes, the Heavenly Maiden will follow closely behind me." ”

Seeing the land, Yaohuan turned around and left, raised the injured finger and pointed at him, with a look of surprise: "What, this is leaving? Why don't you cut your hands?"

The land coughed, and then smiled: "The blood of the Heavenly Maiden alone is enough to deter the evils, and the little old man is old, and there is not much blood." ”

Yaohuan gritted her teeth and muttered, "Count you ruthless!"

The land is indeed good, since Yaojuan cut a hole in her palm, this way through, there is neither a miasma, nor any demonic spirit.

The surroundings were gloomy, and Yao Liang felt that there were many demons staring at them nearby, but probably because of their own identity and mana, they were only watching from the sidelines, and did not dare to come forward.

Seeing that Yaojuan looked nervous, the land on the side comforted: "The Heavenly Maiden don't have to be nervous, they are hiding in the forest and peeping, but no one dares to come forward." ”

Yaowan nodded, quickened her steps and ran forward.

When she walked out of a miasma forest, she didn't see the land coming up, just when Yaohuan was worried about whether the land was besieged by the mountain charm in the forest, the land slowly came out of the forest, maybe it was too hard to walk, he sweated a few times on his forehead, and the dirt on his face was washed away a lot, he raised his sleeve and wiped his face, the whole face was like a splashed ink landscape painting, Yaowan looked at his face, and then remembered the appearance of a dusty stone when it was wet by the rain.

Yao Yao held back her laughter and sneered: "Land, your foot strength is not good!"

The land panted with a bamboo cane: "It's the Heavenly Maiden's cultivation that is profound, and the old man sighs to himself." ”

Yaojuan said: "This miasma forest has passed, and Minshan should not be far from here, right?"

The land stretched out his finger and pointed ahead, gasping, "It's right in front of this." ”

Yaohuan took two steps forward, only took two steps, and then retreated and said: "I can discern the road now, I can walk alone, you go back and go to sleep." ”

The land hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your understanding, the little god retires." ”

After the land left, Yaohuan soared away, along the way, she kept thinking about what the land said, the two armies were facing each other, obviously they were mortals, but how could there be a demon formation?

Since this matter has involved the demons, it is necessary to act carefully and be cautious.

The area of Minshan is peculiar, and the mountains and forests of Sichuan Ze are also strange, Yaojiao stood on the head of the clouds, and saw two moving black shadows in front of a steep mountain, and she was busy driving the clouds over.

Yaojuan fell from the clouds and said happily: "I finally found it." ”

The appearance of Yaojuan is like a light that suddenly appears in the dark night, giving people infinite hope, and the two people I saw just now don't look very old, they are only teenagers, and when they see Yaojuan, their eyes are red.

Yao Jia hurriedly said: "I heard that you are all trapped in Minshan, but what about the rest?"

The two looked at each other, and one of them replied, "It's just ahead, High Priest please." ”

One of them led Yaohuan forward, and the other stayed on duty.

Along the way, Yaojuan saw that everyone was in a state of limp, one by one as if they were wilted, the expressions on their faces were the same, they raised a dirty face, and looked at Yaojuan in unison.

Yaojuan was taken by the young man to a very simple tent, and then he pointed to the tent and said, "Here it is." ”

Yaohuan nodded and said, "You go down first." ”

She opened the tent and went in, but saw several men in general's clothes discussing something nervously and fiercely.

Yaojuan glanced at it, most of the people in it were taken out from Baili by Xuanxuan, and there were only two people she didn't seem to have seen: one was rough-looking, burly, looking at his age, he should have passed middle age, when he found Yaojuan, he quietly pressed the handle of the knife tied to his waist with one hand, and his eyes were also guarded. The other was an old man with gray hair, who was not wearing a military uniform, and his face was thin with no flesh left, and he stretched out his hand and slowly stroked his equally gray beard, staring at him quietly.

Yaojuan crossed their gaze, but she didn't see Xuanxuan in the crowd.

Yaojuan spoke to a young man in a general robe, "Where's Xuanxuan?"

Before the young man could speak, the rough-looking middle-aged man said angrily: "You woman, you are so bold and bold, dare to call me by the name of the king!"

Yaowan glanced at him lightly, and continued to ask, "Xuanxuan, why didn't I see him?"

The few people standing in front of her looked ashamed, and they all lowered their heads, as if they didn't dare to look at Yaojuan.

Yao Jiao noticed something was wrong and became nervous: "What happened, what's wrong with your king?"

Only then did the young man stand up and say, "The king was taken captive by the rebels in front of the Minshan array. ”

Yaohuan was shocked: "Your king has been taken captive, so what are you all doing to eat?"

The young man's face was ashamed, and he said in a very low voice: "Ziyan doesn't know who he invited, he used the demon law, this Minshan can only enter and not exit, I can't wait to get out, there is no way to save the king." ”

The middle-aged man shouted at her: "Hey, where are you a woman, these are all important military affairs, what does it have to do with you, what are you, why are you yelling at Lao Tzu?"

Yaowan didn't bother to look at him, and said to the young general who had just answered: "You, tell him, where am I from, can I take care of the affairs here?"

The young man hurriedly said: "General Xu must not be rude, this is the righteous daughter of the Emperor of Heaven and the high priest of our Baili. ”

The general surnamed Xu seemed to have swallowed a fly, and hurriedly took two steps back, his face was flushed, and he turned away and stopped talking.

The old man stepped forward and saluted: "General Xu is a man of temperament, and there are many offenses in his words, so please don't blame the high priest." ”

Yaojuan waved her hand, glanced at General Xu, looked at the old man and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man coughed lightly and replied, "I am a fellow villager with General Xu, and I am the Shangqing Chu Xing of the Baili Clan in the north. ”

Yaowan returned the courtesy: "Mr. is polite." What the hell is going on?"

Chu Xing replied: "It was two days ago, when we fought with the Ziyan rebels in the north of Minshan, a man with a strange body came out of the rebels, and he did not know what evil magic he used, and when we woke up, we arrived here, and the king was gone, and when we sent people out to investigate, we always couldn't find the way out of this Minshan. ”

The formation of the demon clan, who is the person who casts the spell?"

Everyone in the tent shook their heads, and Chu Xing sighed: "I only know that it is a man, what it looks like, but I didn't have time to see it clearly." ”

Yaowan thought for a while and said: "When I remove the magic circle on this Min Mountain, you will leave quickly, walk along the northwest direction, and you will encounter a place called a miasma forest, you must pass a miasma forest before dark, after a miasma forest, don't stay, go back to Baili directly." ”
