Volume 2 Outside the Mountains Chapter 159 Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

I don't know what Xu Changsheng did to Xue Nan, Xue Nan didn't want to go with him along the way.

It wasn't until he walked out of Zi'an County that Xue Nan reluctantly walked over.

Xu Changsheng didn't bother to pay attention, and walked in the direction of the Kanyu map while looking around.

......

And on the other side.

Wu Sheng and the others took advantage of the dawn to go to the Li Mansion, while Hong Nanlan stayed in the inn to recuperate.

Sitting alone in the inn, she frowned, except for herself, no one knew that she had deduced Xu Changsheng's origin. She didn't plan to say it, after all, the calculated results were too shocking.

In fact, what Wu Sheng and Shui Die didn't know was that as soon as Quan Hao came, she had calculated his origin.

I just didn't say it.

Because in him, Hong Nanlan didn't feel malice.

But this time it was not necessarily, after pondering for a long time, she took out a blank piece of paper from the mustard seed and silently wrote a few words. Then he took out a paper blue bird, folded the white paper into small pieces and stuffed it into the blue bird's belly, and gently rubbed his right hand to ignite the flames, and the blue bird and the white paper turned into ashes.

After doing everything, she stood by the window, looking at the mountains and rivers in the north, stunned.

Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.

Wu Sheng and the others did not go directly to the Li Mansion, but found a restaurant outside and summoned a maid of the Li Mansion, but it was not Lu'e.

After some inquiry, the three of them sent back the maid and hurried out of the city.

......

Within the Lee Mansion.

After listening to Lu E and the maid's reply, Li Yanguang pondered for a moment, went back to the back hall, and crushed a messenger.

......

Bigger and bigger.

On the banks of the Qingli River, Xu Changsheng was looking around, while Xue Nan casually performed a small spell and wandered on both sides of the Qingli River.

"Lao Xu, what year is the Kanyu map you bought? Xue Nan floated over from the other side of the river again.

Xu Changsheng shook his head silently, and Xue Nan was not worried about this matter.

"Why don't you ask someone? ”

The young man with the sword looked at the wild mountains on both sides of the river, "Looking for someone here, it's better to find a ghost faster." ”

"Then why don't you just call out this Qingli River God?" Xue Nan really didn't want to look for it for a moment.

The wilderness stretches as far as the eye can see.

"Da Rui's rule is that only a river god can be a river god in a county, so what kind of cultivation is this river god?" Xu Changsheng stopped and asked.

Xue Nan pondered for a moment, "The Lingtai starts, and it is mostly distracted. ”

Xu Changsheng didn't reply anymore and continued to walk forward.

The banks of the river are mostly high mountains, but the banks that are really close to the river are green plains, and at the moment no matter how green they are, they have turned yellow.

"Old Xu, look ahead. Xue Nan suddenly shouted.

When I turned my head to look, I saw a few more ruined walls in the open space by the river.

The two glanced at each other, and they stepped out to get closer.

I didn't rush in, and looked around at the door.

There is a bluestone paved path in front of the broken wall, a road to the two people, a road leading to the Qingli River, two broken stone pillars can be seen in front of the main gate that can be vaguely distinguished, and the broken wall at the back is made of yellow mud.

"Looks like this is the River Temple. ”

"Why did it become a ruin?"

"Let's go check it out first. ”

The statue of the river god that was originally enshrined is nowhere to be found, and even the shrine and other things are gone, only the mud walls that are about to collapse on all sides, and the four corners of the desert and stubborn weeds are squeezed out of the cracks.

After walking through several ruins in a row, no anomalies were found, and the two had to go outside again.

"Maybe it's the ruins of the river temple of the previous dynasty, but the locals used to call this place the river temple, and the people who drew the map of Kanyu added it again. ”

"It can only be explained in this way, in short, it can't be the river temple of this Xizhou County. ”

If it is, then it is impossible for the current site or the old site to be dilapidated like this.

"Can you breathe? The kind that really collects breath. Xu Changsheng spoke extremely quickly.

"Yes"

The young man with the sword grabbed him, tore off a piece of cloth from his body and threw it into the turbulent river, and then dodged into the mountains and forests on the side.

After landing on the ground, Xue Nan put his hand into his sleeve, took out a sluggish bird and put it on top of his head, and then squatted down silently. In the blink of an eye, in Xu Changsheng's perception, there was no breath of him. Instead, there was a small bird squatting next to it.

As for Xu Changsheng, the moment he landed, Xue Nan no longer sensed his existence.

"Here they are. Xu Changsheng condensed the line and said.

I saw three figures slowly walking out of the road when the two came, and it was Wu Sheng and the three of them who had met the two many times.

"Why don't you see that warlock today?" Xue Nan said.

"I don't know, just look at it first. ”

And on the banks of the Qingli River.

Wu Sheng, who was late, frowned, "Why did you notice the breath of those two people on the road and disappear?"

"Kwon Ho and Shui Butterfly should be careful. ”

Saying that, the three of them also entered the ruins of the river temple, and unlike Xu Changsheng and the others, after they entered, they held a talisman in their hands, walked back and forth in several ruins for a while, and lit a few pillars of green wood incense in each ruin, and finally came out of the river and threw the talisman into the Qingli River.

After the paper drawing talisman falls into the river, it does not go down the river, but sinks straight down.

"Brother Wu, is this?" asked Kwon Ho puzzled.

Wu Sheng didn't hide his secrets, and explained: "This is called 'Throwing Stone Asking Directions', we have first put green wood incense in this river temple, and also sacrificed this talisman, and then threw this talisman into the river. ”

"Then how do you call throwing stones to ask for directions?"

Wu Sheng smiled, and he didn't know whether to laugh at the ignorance of this immortal disciple or at the mastery of his own means, "If this river god is still here, he will send this talisman back to the river and burn it out, if the river god here changes his honor, or if there is no river god, then this talisman will sink to the bottom of the river by itself." ”

Kwon Hao nodded, and the three of them stared at the river from the shore.

"Did you find it?" Wu Sheng said.

The two went downstream along the Qingli River. The pleasant voice of the water butterfly sounded in Wu Sheng's heart lake.

Could it be that they still found something in this river temple? shouldn't they? Wu Sheng frowned.

"There's movement. Kwon Ho said in a low voice.

I saw a talisman slowly rising from the slightly turbid Qingli River, and the water began to burn instantly.

"It seems that this river god is still in Qingli Hanoi. ”

"No, Brother Wu, look. The water butterfly exclaimed.

I saw that the stone-throwing charm burned after coming out of the water, but as soon as it was halfway burned, it suddenly went out, fell back into the water, and went down the water.

"What's going on?" asked Kwon Ho, frowning, turning his head.

Wu Sheng was silent.

And in the mountains and forests on the side.

Every time Wu Sheng made a move, Xue Nan explained to Xu Changsheng, and even the origin of the "stone-throwing talisman" was clearly explained to him.

It is said that there was a young man who was very good at talismans in ancient times, but his courage was very small, and he traveled to the barren mountains at night, strayed into a natural maze, and could not find the way to come.

He took out the talisman paper on the spot, drew a talisman, and threw it forward.

The talisman burned, and it also showed him the way out.

After getting out of the maze, the mountain god of that place also appeared on purpose, talked with him for a long time, and finally asked if the talisman had a name?

The young man shook his head as he walked.

The mountain god laughed and said that there was no road ahead, and the stone could ask for directions, so it was better to call it a stone throwing charm to ask for directions.

The young man neither nodded nor shook his head.

Soon after, however, the stone-throwing charm spread.

Xu Changsheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, "That mountain god is not a kind person. ”

Xue Nan understood what he meant, but he didn't explain, and continued to look at the river until the half-burning talisman fell into the water.

Without waiting for Xu Changsheng to ask, Xue Nan shook his head, his face was heavy, "I don't know, the book never talked about the fact that the stone-throwing talisman will burn half." ”

I don't know what Wu Sheng and the others talked about, and then went back along the way they came.

After the three left, Xue Nangang wanted to get up, but was pulled by Xu Changsheng.

After tea time.

The two of them came out of the mountains and forests again.

"Where should I go now?" Xue Nan asked habitually, turning his head.

Xu Changsheng glanced at him angrily, "It's not that you said you wanted to take over this job, why are you starting to ask me now?"

"This ......" Xue Nan scratched his head with a rare embarrassment.

"Isn't it because of you, I'm too lazy to use my brain. It's not that you don't know, my brain is all about gadgets, how can I have time to think about this. ”

The sword-bearer thought about his sleeve that could be taken out of anything, as if it were like that.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Li Yanguang is weird, let's go back to him." ”

"What's wrong with him?"

"Li Yucong has been missing for half a month, and he has also searched for so many people to find her, among them there must be some monks who are good at pursuit, so it is impossible that there are no clues at all. ”

"If he is really looking for a woman, he will definitely publish all the clues he has found, and the people who will look for it later will definitely be much faster, instead of bumping into them like us. ”

"Maybe he just didn't say it on purpose, and wanted us to find more information ourselves?" Xue Nan retorted.

Xu Changsheng said as he walked, "If that's the case, then we also have to go back to him and ask him to tell us the news that others have found." ”

"There must be a reason why he didn't say it. ”

"That's why I said he was weird. ”

Xue Nan didn't refute until he was about to return to Zi'an County.

Only then did he speak again: "If you can think of it, others can think of it too." ”

Xu Changsheng stopped and said in a deep voice: "Maybe, but Li Yanguang is also in the Xuan Realm, and if he has a high cultivation, he will definitely not look down on those few green worm coins, and if he has a low cultivation, he will not dare to ask." Therefore, the person who wants to ask must also be asked by the same person who has entered the mystery. ”

Xue Nan nodded, "It seems like that's the case." ”

"So don't go and go straight back to the inn. ”

"Xu Changsheng you!"

The sword-bearer turned his head with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with me?"

"It's okay, you're big brother. When you come back, remember to bring some wine and food back, the inn is not appetizing, too sweet. ”
