Chapter 39: The Cliff
Yu Bai held the freshly folded flower in his hand, the flower is single-petaled, the leaves are red and yellow, and the flower is red near the center of the flower, with a total of six petals. Yu Bai put the flower close to his nose and smelled it, and there was a strange fragrance.
"I've never smelled it before. Yu Bai handed the flower to the red-clothed Tara.
"I feel like I've smelled it somewhere, I think. Tara in red also put the flower close to her nose and smelled it, trying her best to search for it in her memory. But I couldn't remember it for a while.
"You've heard it, it's an important discovery, and every detail of this is about our safety. Yu Bai looked at the red-clothed Tara with hope, hoping that she could remember where she had smelled this smell and also bring some useful tips for going up the mountain today.
"Feng Ziwan's painting is above!" " The red-clothed Tara remembered and smiled happily at Yu Bai.
"What kind of painting did Fengzi late?"
"Feng Ziwan painted a portrait of her father, she opened it and I looked at it carefully, and the painting had this smell on it. Also, Fengzi came here late to see the phantom stone, and he must have taken this road, which means that this road is safe. "The red-clothed Tara took the flower and drew a circle in her hand.
"That's good, maybe that flower was picked by the wind later. Yu Bai looked at the broken branches without flowers and circled around the clusters of flowers.
"Chances are, we've been here for a long time, and the flowers that have been broken off have not changed at all, and it stands to reason that the flowers that have left the branches for a long time here must have wilted a little. We can't wait any longer, let's go up slowly. The red-clothed Tara and Yu Bai discussed and continued to move forward, and Yu Bai took the queen's hand.
The three of them walked for a while, and the stone path became wider and wider. But it was getting darker and darker.
"It's not yet dark, how is it getting dark? Yu Bai set his eyes on the red-clothed Tara.
"There may be a situation where we stop and don't go any further. The red-clothed Tara went over and took the queen's hand and stood still. Gazing at the sky. It was getting darker and darker, and there was a solemn atmosphere.
"How can this be?" Yu Bai hugged the queen tightly.
Soon it was dark and nothing could be seen, and the three of them looked at each other, when there was a "rumbling--" sound. The voice is dull and powerful, and it is breathtaking.
"We hugged each other. The red-clothed Tara came over and touched Queen Yubaige, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.
The rumbling sound was gone, replaced by the sound of a burst of needles screaming and killing, as if it were right next to him. People shouted horses, shouted to kill, tore and killed, and screamed, all of which were heard endlessly. The three of them hugged each other quietly, although Yu Baige red-clothed Tara didn't dare to make a sound, he just secretly opened his eyes to see, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, sometimes the sound was around, he felt that something touched him, and he couldn't see anything when he opened his eyes.
The queen was even more frightened, silently sensing everything around her. She held Yu Bai and Red-clothed Tara tightly with her hands, her eyes closed. The atmosphere didn't dare to come out, where did she live like this to the scene.
"Did you see anything?" asked the red-clothed Tara in a low voice.
"I didn't see anything, I felt like there were a lot of people tearing them apart, I just couldn't see anything. Yu Bai also suppressed his voice, looked around again, and he found a red fireball flying over.
"What's that?" Yu Bai was a little flustered, not knowing how to deal with it. Yu Bai subconsciously protected the queen, and when his hand touched the queen's body, he felt the queen tremble slightly.
"Don't be afraid, with me and the red-clothed Tara by your side, you will be fine, don't make a sound, we will say that you are quiet. Yu Bai was afraid that the queen would be frightened and screamed, although he knew that the queen would not be able to speak now, but when people were extremely intimidated, abnormal incense things would be annoying, and he whispered to settle the queen, and the queen nodded vigorously, knowing that Yu Bai might not be able to see it when he nodded, but for the sake of safety, he still did this without making a sound.
"I think it's an unidentified flying fireball. Let's stay still and see if it flies towards us. "The red-clothed Tara put her mouth close to Yubai and the red-clothed Tara. The eyes of the three of them stared at the fireball in unison.
The fireball is getting closer and brighter, and it is strange, and the fireball is shouting and tearing, and the sound of killing and tearing cannot be heard. The fireball circled in the sky and flew away, and a loud explosion was heard in the direction where the fireball was fading away, and the sky was completely dark again. I don't know how long it took for Yu Bai to open his eyes, and the sky gradually brightened again.
"What a false alarm!" Yu Bai let out a sigh of relief and pulled the queen up. Looking around, nothing has changed, as if nothing had happened.
"What would have been the result if we hadn't hid and kept calm like we had then?" Yu Bai always felt foggy in his heart.
"Where there can be phantom stones. There is definitely an illusion of illusion. The best way to deal with illusions is to wait and see. If we hadn't been honest and still just now, things would definitely not have been like this, just like our experience in Yimenglou, maybe what would have happened. The red-clothed Tara patted the dust that had just been blown off her shirt by the wind and put it back in order.
"Understood, don't be disturbed by external factors, and keep yourself sober. This is the best way to deal with illusions. Yu Bai tidied up the queen's windswept hair, and her heart was full of guilt.
"Let's go up, maybe we will encounter some unexpected situations. Now that it comes, we cannot retreat. If we can't figure out who gave the white jade bead on the queen's head, we can't save the queen's innocence and life. We have no choice but to rise to the challenge. "The red-clothed Tara saw Yu Bai's thoughts, she didn't want Yu Bai to be unhappy, Yu Bai's joys, sorrows and sorrows were her feelings, her heart had long been close to Yu Bai, and Yu Bai's affairs were her business.
"Thank you for meeting you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do now. Yu Bai didn't know how to express his feelings,
"Now what are you going to do, let's go. "The red-clothed Tara is strange and still walks to the front. Leaving Yu Bai behind is to make it easier to take care of the queen, and it is enough to do a good job in front of you.
When I was about to reach the top, I saw the cliff of the upper peak in the distance, and there was a flat stone stretching forward on the cliff.
"That's the Phantom Stone. The red-clothed Tara had a long-lost smile on her face and pointed upwards with her hand.
Yu Bai said that the direction pointed by the red-clothed Tara also saw the stone protruding from the cliff: "There is really a stone there, it's really good, I finally saw it after all the difficulties." “
"Don't rejoice too soon, maybe not. "Tara in red felt that without actual experience, she couldn't jump to conclusions too early. When you come here, you have to be careful everywhere, and you can't judge things with common sense. There is no common sense in the illusion.
The more he walked up, the happier he became, and he couldn't wait to come to the edge of the cliff immediately to see if it was a phantom stone. The heart was in a hurry, and soon the three of them stood on the edge of the cliff.
"This stone may be the phantom stone that Feng Ziwan said. The red-clothed Tara looked at the flat stone stretching forward on the cliff, her expression was a little melancholy, let the queen go to the top There is a certain danger, the queen is just a mortal, let her be on the top she must be afraid, this point does not need to think about it. The red-robed Tara looked at the queen, who was staring blankly at the stone hanging in the air. The red-robed Tara didn't speak again, and she couldn't rush the queen to go there.
"How can this stone be like this, I don't know if it is strong or not?" Yu Bai walked to the edge of the cliff, paused, stepped on one foot on the phantom stone, stepped on it, and stepped on it with the other. Luckily, it's pretty smooth. Yu Bai retreated.
The queen walked slowly to the edge of the cliff, looked at the phantom stone, and walked over slowly, she understood the intentions of Yu Bai and the red-clothed Tara. Knowing that they had worked hard for themselves, the queen could hear what they said clearly, and the phantom stone was in front of her, even if she was afraid that she would go up at night.
The queen followed the example of Yu Bai just now, and first stepped on it with one foot, and then stepped on the other foot. Standing on the phantom stone, the queen's heart beat violently, and her legs trembled a little.
"Well, can I do it myself? Yu Bai saw the queen trembling, and thought that he would go up and give him courage, so that the queen would not be too afraid. At this moment, no one could have imagined that the stone would break from its roots without even making a sound, and the queen would fall from it as well.
Yu Bai hurriedly flew over in fright, trying to catch the queen before the phantom stone fell, but the phantom stone broke with the queen and disappeared immediately. The red-clothed Tara then floated over, and there was no trace of the queen or the phantom stone.
How could this be?" Yu Bai returned to the edge of the cliff and looked at the empty cliff below, anxious and overwhelmed.
Tara the red also stood on the cliff, staring down blankly and without saying a word, she really didn't know what to say now. The queen fell off the cliff like this with her eyelids lowered, which really made the red-clothed Tara not accept it in her heart, could it be her own judgment error, this is not a phantom stone. There are other places, but what Feng Ziwan said is Shangding, there is only one mountain top. She looked down at the place where the phantom stone had broken, and found that there were only a few new traces on the fracture surface, and the rest of the place had long since cracked.
"Come and see, there's a rift here. "The red-clothed Tara Chong Yu beckoned.
"This crack is indeed there for a long time, as if it was artificially cut, and there are traces of a knife on it. Yu Bai squatted down and looked very carefully.
"Who would do that, and for what purpose?" said Tara, who was dressed in red, and did not want to start a case.
"Let's find a way to find my mother as soon as possible. Yu Bai straightened up, looked down, and couldn't see anything.
"Let's go down too, only from here. The red-clothed Tara jumped off the cliff, and Yu Bai followed, and the two flew down quickly.
