Chapter 180: The Grand Escape (3)
"Hey, I'm telling you serious business. You know better than me what Sakura will be dealt with, there is a no-man's forbidden area in the north of Qingluan City, the formation there is extremely strong, even my father can't easily step into it without the order of the patriarch, and the people who are imprisoned there are either peerless beasts above the seventh level who have done a lot of evil, or they are powerful mysteries who are lawless and evil, and they are all crazy and murderers, if Sakura is judged to be a dangerous person by the people of my family and is imprisoned, what awaits her will be endless imprisonment and torture. Situ Xuan glared, "The name of that big array is the Prison Heaven Lock Demon Array, it is the highest level formation of our Situ family, once it is suppressed, even the powerhouses of the Emperor Xuan Realm will not be able to come out, no one can escape from there, it can be said that it is a hell on earth." β
"What do you want to tell me?" Meng Changfeng squinted at him.
"The only people who have had contact with that girl in the past few days are me and Luo Tian, and you can completely settle the matter of her murder, so when the old guys in my family want to ask questions, you and I are the most important witnesses. I know them very well, and they probably only give Sakura the best forbidden stone to restrain her on a regular basis. If you're a man with a bit of a conscience, you should testify with me and help me convince those old guys that Sakura isn't some uncontrollable Blood Emperor, and that she's just a quiet girl most of the time. Situ Xuan squatted on the ground and looked directly into Meng Changfeng's eyes, "What the two of us say will determine that girl's future." β
"Situ Gongzi, I have already said it, can you not be so naΓ―ve!" Meng Changfeng glared at his eyes, "What the Evil Puppet Sect and the Wu'en Sect have done in recent years has already been revealed, no one will believe your words, even if you bring me, it is impossible! Sakura is indeed the Blood Emperor, she is the source of extreme evil and strife, and now she has only two ways to go, either die or be imprisoned for the rest of her life!" They won't do anything bullshit like investigating and listening to testimonies, Sakura will be sent directly to the big array of Qingluan City, and death is already the best ending compared to this kind of result!
"So...... If I really sent her to Xuanzhou, wouldn't I send her to hell with my own hands......" Situ Xuan was suddenly stunned, "Damn! That girl doesn't deserve this kind of treatment!"
"You are the son of the Situ family, you know your background and mission, but you don't like this feeling, so you want to rebel against it, so you ran away from home just to prove yourself. But no matter what, we can't save her, she will either be directly beheaded by the master of the door or spend her life in prison, even a madman like Mo Yun only dares to imprison her in the big array! I am willing to give her a chance, and I don't want her to get this ending, but you tell me what we can do!" Meng Changfeng paused word by word, "I have already said that her appearance is a mistake for this world! It's not you, not me, not anyone else who doesn't like her, it's this world, do you understand?!"
"This ...... This...... How do you let me tell Luo Tian, he didn't know that the girl was sent back to prison by him when she got on Xuanzhou! He also thought that Sakura would be taken care of by my family, and when this matter was resolved, he would go to Qingluan City to see her, how would you let me explain to him!"
"If you don't know how to say it, don't say it. Meng Changfeng lowered his head, "I believe in the strength of the Situ family, if you want to suppress the Blood Emperor, you can really make her immortal, although maybe the ending of death is the best result for her, but at least the person is still alive, and it can be regarded as a memory for him......"
Situ Xuan stared at Meng Changfeng, Meng Changfeng also stared at him and was not to be outdone, these two swordsmen seemed to have a sharp edge in their eyes.
"Fuck! Lao Tzu really can't stand you! I'll go to the side to drink a pot of wine and call me when I'm done!" Situ got up and left, and before leaving, he kicked the big tree next to him, and almost didn't kick him directly in anger.
Meng Changfeng looked at his back: "The person who should leave should be me." β
Situ Yu didn't speak, the leaves and petals fell behind him, and he stepped on the wildflowers and green leaves on the mountain road and gradually walked away. Meng Changfeng half-leaned on the big tree behind him, took off the wine jug and poured it hard, looking up at the blue but secluded sky.
......
......
Before the child, Luo Tian and Sakura arrived at Duyang Mountain, which was more than a hundred miles away from Pingyang City, which was seven or eight hundred miles away from Caiyi City, and they drove the carriage for nearly four hours.
There was no one at the foot of the Duyang Mountain, Luo Tian casually found a corner to park the carriage, and then added water and hay to the horses, although they were still at the foot of the mountain, they also heard the sound of "rustling" leaves.
"What kind of place is this?" Sakura pinched the hem of Luo Tian's clothes, and there was excitement in her eyes.
"Duyang Mountain, I heard that it is the most beautiful place in Pingyang City. Luo Tian took out the map and looked at it to make sure he was not in the wrong place.
This is the first time Sakura has come to a mountain like Mt. Duyang, the leaves fluttering and the wind is soft, and the lanterns of various colors are undulating and flickering in the mountains, and suddenly disappearing into the dark wind.
Luo Tian took out a lantern that had been prepared a long time ago and took Sakura all the way up from the foot of the mountain. The terrain of Duyang Mountain is flat and the scenery is pleasant, there are also hundreds of families living and recuperating here, the mountain road paved with bluestone slabs reveals a sense of ancient vicissitudes of age, both sides of the mountain road are full of wooden houses and small shops, the merchants here are open all day without rest, there are banners of different colors hanging in front of the door, lively but not noisy, there are occasionally a few ancient trees on the flat ground, and the two sides of the mountain road are clusters of bright red unknown wild flowers. At this time, the night market in Caiyi City must be overcrowded, but there are not many people here, only the occasional sporadic traveler walking down from the top of the mountain.
Sakura had never seen such a simple mountain town, but she felt that everything was fresh, and she refused to walk fast when she ran around. Luo Tian took the map in front of him and turned left and right in the mountain road, and when he didn't pay attention, he found that Sakura was gone, so he could only turn back to find her, sometimes she ran to the front of the pastry workshop, sometimes near the small shop that pulled ramen, and finally it was almost time, Luo Tian could only pull her all the way to trot.
There is only half an hour left for the summit of Mt. Duyang, where a large number of maple trees are planted, which have been carefully repaired and turned into neat patches of red, like a sea of fire under the illumination of the lights.
Once inside, there are no people living on the mountainside, and the trail is lined with a dense variety of trees that cover the two of them like clouds, as if they are in a tunnel of trees and weeds, and the colors change as if they are gazing at a kaleidoscope.
The entire mountain road was empty, only the lights accompanied Luo Tian and Sakura all the way forward, and the girl stretched out her head to look around, her expression full of surprise and excitement.
It was Luo Tian's meaning to come to Duyang Mountain, he had asked Sakura where he wanted to go before, and Sakura replied that it was good anywhere, as long as it was a fun and beautiful place. Luo Tian thought about it and said that I know a place, but we can't go directly, we have to take a long detour.
Therefore, after they set out from Pingyang City and came to Caiyi City, it took them a few more hours to reach this beautiful mountain.
"Heavenly ...... You're not from here, are you, why do you know such a beautiful place?" Sakura asked, a little confused.
"Because of a story. β
"What's the story?"
"The story of Aunt Zhang. Luo Tian said slowly and heavily.
One night, Luo Tian went out to buy food for the next day while Sakura was asleep, and bought a few new clothes for Qiu Qiong by the way, and when he went downstairs, he suddenly heard someone humming a little song at the door, a long sad and brisk little song, Luo Tian walked over and found that it was the old Aunt Zhang who was leaning against the door to watch the moon, and then the lady told him the story of her youth.
It turned out that the eldest mother and her husband met near the Duyang Mountain, when she was still an ordinary girl in Pingyang City, and his lover was just a carpenter working near the Duyang Mountain...... But after listening to Aunt Zhang's chatter, Luo Tian wanted to come to this side of Duyang Mountain for some reason, and wanted to come to this natural tree tunnel, surrounded by a large area of green, red and purple, just like being in a sea of flowers.
However, even Luo Tian's cheekiness was not embarrassed to tell Situ Yu that he was very moved by listening to Aunt Zhang's story, so he wanted to come to Duyang Mountain to see, and he had to run out for more than 100 miles for an old-fashioned love story, but he felt stupid just thinking about it......
But there is no need to be taboo in front of Sakura, this girl doesn't understand this, Luo Tian can tell her very seriously that Aunt Zhang's story is really touching, I listen to it and I want to fall in love with someone inexplicably.
Sakura doesn't feel ashamed to be moved by an old-fashioned story, she just opens her eyes and says seriously, "It must be a very touching story." β
Luo Tian took out a square scarf from his sleeve and gently covered Sakura's eyes, "Close your eyes first, there will be a spectacular scenery in a while." β
Sakura nodded heavily, then put her hand in Luo Tian's palm. The lantern overhead illuminated the direction of the mountain road, and Luo Tian took Sakura's hand and slowly went up the mountain road, and pieces of fallen leaves and petals were projected obliquely from the sky.
The two walked for about a cup of tea, and finally stopped at the door of an official residence, the bluestone mountain road was gone, Luo Tian's eyes swept around, and then led Sakura slowly through the woods, they walked on the path stepped out by the workers who came to the mountain for logging many years ago, Sakura was afraid of falling down with a square scarf, so he grabbed Luo Tian's arm and walked slowly, Luo Tian kicked away the messy branches and crazy weeds on the road, and there was a little intimidating light at the end of the road, which made people warm.
