The four of them were hesitating, and Bai Xingtear suddenly saw that on the path that went to the depths of the dense forest in the northwest direction, there was a little golden light that was quite dazzling, especially in this cold day, the residual leaves withered, the dry and thin branches of the dead trees were intertwined, and the remnant sun that was like blood penetrated the thin clouds without any obstacles, scattered between the branches, reflecting the little golden lotus lying in the middle of the road.

Bai Xingxian stepped forward quickly, and the other three people were slightly stunned and followed quickly, only to see Bai Xingxian leaning over and picking up the golden lotus bone, which was the golden lotus token that he had found in the Qiu family in Yanzhou Mansion before, and had been placed on Shen Cuttlefish's body. "It must have been Shen Gongzi who deliberately threw it here in order to leave us a clue!" Pei Jingnian said decisively. But Bai Xing Tears said: "Perhaps, it also fell here unintentionally." However, this golden lotus fell on this road, which means that Shen Cuttlefish is very likely to be coerced by those two people and went to the northwest. ”

After saying that, Bai Xingxian hurriedly turned his head and said, "Where is the northwest?" Pei Jingnian pondered for a moment and replied: "More than two hundred miles to the northwest, you will go out of the Zhongtianfu region, and then take the Cangshan Trail and cross the Shenzhou River, and you can reach Yueqiu Mansion in just twenty miles." If you take the avenue, you will have to go up to 300 miles, and you can also reach Yueqiu Mansion. "In other words, at least more than two hundred miles, at most five hundred miles, and then you will get to Yueqiu Mansion?" Bai Xing said thoughtfully, "Is there any other place to go?"

"The vicinity of the city around the Moon Hill Mansion is not as convenient as it, the Moon Hill Mansion is located in the Central Plains Road, extending in all directions, since they are going to the northwest, they are going north, and passing through the Moon Hill Mansion is the best choice. Pei Jingnian speculated. Bai Xing nodded when he heard this, his expression was serious, revealing a rare worry, he sighed lightly, and then said: "Since this is the case, Shen Cuttlefish will most likely go to Yueqiu Mansion with them. Okay, let's go straight to Yueqiu!"

Everyone was about to set off, and Pei Jingnian suddenly said: "I propose, take the avenue, although it is more than 200 miles away, but I expect that most of them will also take the main road, and we will not delay for many hours." ”

"Why is this so? How can there be a reason to take a long road instead of taking a short road? Even if they do take a long road, we outflank them from the short road, intercept them halfway, and save Shen Gongzi in the middle, isn't it beautiful? But if they didn't take the road, we delayed the journey for hundreds of miles, but missed the opportunity, and missed them, how could we save Shen Gongzi?" An Ning'er sneered, with a bit of banter and dissatisfaction in her tone.

But what she said was what everyone thought in their hearts, and it was also common sense, except for Bai Xing's tears in An Ning'er, even Mingjue silently looked at Pei Jingnian, expecting her to give a satisfactory explanation. Pei Jingnian took a deep breath and explained: "The road is an official road, the road is smooth and unimpeded, if you find the strength of your feet, you can also gallop on a horse." It's a lot safer. Cangshan trail is mostly mountain road, rugged and difficult to walk, many tigers, leopards, jackals, snakes, insects, rats and ants, this season is nothing, but it is not easy to walk, and even if you cross the Cangshan Mountain, you have to cross the Shenzhou River, the Shenzhou River sinks the Zhoujiang River, as the name suggests, the yellow sand floats on it, the boat sinks in the river, the river is turbulent and turbulent, compared to the Huangshi River, it is more than that, during which the reefs are dense, and there are many shipwrecks, if the ordinary ships enter the river, even if they are not swept into the whirlpool by the turbulent flowing water, they will inevitably hit the reef or wreckage and cause sinking, so it is extremely precipitous。 ”

Bai Xingxian fell silent when he heard this, but An Ning'er craned his neck and said: "What is this afraid of? As the so-called boat goes straight to the bridge, I don't believe it, is there really no way to cross the Shenzhou River?" Bai Xingxian also hurriedly asked, refusing to let go of any opportunity that could be seized: "Is there a way to cross the river?" Pei Jingnian nodded, and shook his head randomly, Bai Xingxian saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and hurriedly asked: "Why do you have something to say, is it possible that after going through so much together, you don't care about Shen Cuttlefish's life at all!"

"No, I naturally care about Shen Gongzi's life, and now that he has been kidnapped by gangsters, I am also very anxious. It is rumored that there is an old man living next to the sinking boat river, he is nearly seventy years old but still makes a living by ferry, and only crosses a boat of people across the river every day. Pei Jingnian explained, "With his many years of experience in fighting the Shenzhou River, no one except him can cross the Shenzhou River unharmed. ”

An Ning'er said with a smile: "I don't want to have such a person in the world? I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for a long time, but I have never heard of it." Pei Jingnian also sighed and said: "It is rumored that he has a strange temperament and is very approachable. ”

Bai Xing said with tears: "Even so, you should give it a try!" But Pei Jingnian's face was embarrassed, his willow eyebrows frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he patiently persuaded: "But after all, that's just a legend, and the old man is now afraid that he is already immortal, or there is no such person at all." If we reach the bank of the Shenzhou River and find nothing, or if he refuses to cross the river, and then we turn back and take the road, the delay will be immeasurable. ”

Bai Xing was silent, swallowed his saliva peacefully, and his face was a little ugly: "This is simply a gamble." Pei Jingnian said with a wry smile: "But the stakes in this gamble are too big, once we make the wrong decision, Shen Gongzi may ......" Before Pei Jingnian could speak, Bai Xingtear, who had been thinking silently, suddenly raised his head, his eyes burst into light, and said firmly: "Take the trail!"

Everyone was a little stunned, and they didn't want Bai Xing to tear up and finally made this decision. "The evil dragon in Anqiu Mansion is hidden, and the Qinling River is crazy. The short-lived son is now a sword soldier, and the iron rope is flying and the cliff is long. The smoke and clouds are vast and dangerous, and the black and white swords are busy fighting. The gods of the Golden Temple descended on disasters, and the demons flew in the sand. We have survived so many hardships and obstacles, and what are we afraid of the Cangshan Trail and the Sinking Boat Nu River? Let's let go of the gamble, betting that the old man is not illusory, betting that the two of them only dare to take the avenue, and we will go straight to the Yueqiu Mansion from the path, rob the two of them, and save the Shen cuttlefish! I believe that if that stinky boy knew, he would also approve of my decision!"

This is undoubtedly a thrilling gamble, Bai Xing Tears intends to make a desperate bet, Pei Jingnian has nothing to say, and no longer dissuades, An Ning'er has always supported Bai Xing Tears' decision, even if the two of them have just been a little unhappy because of the divine sacrifice, but in terms of temperament alone, the two are extremely close. While the three women were discussing the next step, Mingjue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Since that's the case, let's take the path." ”

"Hmm, Mingjue, what do you say?" Bai Xing was quite surprised, she never thought that one day her always risky decisions could be supported by Mingjue, as soon as these words came out, Pei Jingnian's face also changed. Mingjue said with a smile on his face: "Amitabha, the little monk only said that people are not as good as heaven, and all things have reincarnation, so you only need to follow my Buddha's arrangement, and gradual progress is the truth." But along the way, the difficulties and obstacles can be solved by you one by one, so that the little monk can see what it means to be a man to win the day, this may be the wonder of entering the world to practice, Amitabha, although the white girl takes the trail, even if the little monk fights for this life, he will definitely send you to read the sunken boat Nu River!"

Pei Jingnian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, shook his head with a wry smile, Bai Xing was stunned in place, and then burst into a bright smile, the smile full of confidence and sunshine exuded infinite infectiousness, and it was rare for everyone to work together again, so they immediately set off and went to the Cangshan Trail. "Did we just go to the Moon Hill Mansion?" An Ning'er asked, tilting her head. Bai Xing didn't want to talk to her, but it was not easy to show it, the words that the god priest said before he died in front of the gate of Zhongtianfu made her feel palpitated, and she was wary of An Ning'er, so she replied casually: "They are also a pair of feet, we are also a pair of feet, they can walk, why can't we go?"

"But if the two of them take the big road, they can reach Qinglin Town in just one night, and try to find a leg strength, and then they can gallop on horseback, and travel in the starry night. But the trails we walked were all rugged mountain roads and yellow sandy land, and horses could not cross them, and if we rode horses, it was much slower than walking. Pei Jingnian explained to An Ning'er, but he was still worried, and seemed to still have doubts about Bai Xing's decision.

An Ning'er sighed lightly, and then said no more, and the four of them each made light efforts, wearing stars and moons, and hurried to hurry.

Let's say that Cen Duan and Bai Wushou took the Shen cuttlefish who ordered the acupoint with them, and sure enough, as Pei Jingnian expected, they took the official road. In order not to expose their whereabouts, they hired a carriage in Qinglin Town, traveled at night, and rested during the day, but they never forgot to light Shen Cuttlefish's acupoint, so that he couldn't open his eyes, couldn't open his mouth, and his face was pale, as if he was terminally ill.

Cen Du locked his dantian with internal force again, Shen cuttlefish must not use the essentials of internal force, it is difficult to break through the acupoint by himself, only occasionally can he forcibly open his eyes to take a look at the surrounding environment, although most of the time he can only see the inside of the black carriage and a little silver-white moonlight outside the window. The sound of whips spreads to the valley, the horse's hooves shake the yellow sand, the stars and the moon are my clothes, and the jackdaws are homeless. Cen Du and Bai Wushou drove the carriage on the spacious official road of five people, Bai Wushou looked up at the miserable and cold Lonely Moon, and leaned helplessly on the side of the carriage, with a worried expression on his face.

"What, what's on your mind?" Cen glanced at Bai Wushou beside him, and asked with a chuckle. Bai Wushou sat up straight, just wanted to speak, but stopped talking, his lips trembled a few times and finally regained his composure, and he leaned back to the carriage. Cen Duan tugged at the reins, turned his head and asked him, "What's the matter, don't you want to talk to the eldest brother?" "It's nothing, I just want to be the third and the fourth." Bai Wushou replied with a facial expression.

When he mentioned the third and fourth children, Cen Di, who had been smiling, suddenly changed his face, and his smile gradually faded.
