Chapter 115: The Mist of the Mountains
An Yirou looked at the two of them with her spare eyes on the side, and felt a little emotion in her heart, sharing weal and woe, probably no matter how happy she is in retrospect in the future, right?
Li Shi also recognized the direction at this time, and said to everyone: "Come here, it's best to take this road." There was a little relief in his expression, as if he had finally found his way to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Heh, this is the best path?" An Yirou sneered, and the contempt in it could not be more obvious. The difference between An Yirou and Li Shi, in addition to the guide and the formation master, there is another point, that is, An Yirou has already gone through it, and it was when a 'half-hanged' guide no longer knew where to take it, so he was pulled back, but Li Shi is different, he has not led anyone for a long time, coupled with the change of formation, the two are more than a little bit worse at this point.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the branch after the road he chose, there was a road that could lead to the door of death, and the place he was going to was definitely not as simple as the East China Sea, probably the place where the door of death was located, right? This formation shrouded a wide range that is rare in the world, but it is basically not dangerous except for the effect of confusion. This is a very unscientific thing, the killing and vitality of the general formation must be maintained under relatively balanced conditions, so that it can be stable for so long, and it is still there after a long time when the world is replaced.
Yes, it's just that there is basically no danger, there are still dangers, but as long as you don't go to a specific place, it's gone. For example, An Yirou has never been to that place, she doesn't have such a heavy curiosity, and she doesn't have the obsessive-compulsive disorder to rule out possible threats within a certain range. It's none of her business, hanging high, and she doesn't bother to watch the excitement, this is her style.
But this time it's different, she's been involved, so she has to express her opinion, otherwise, I don't know how much trouble she will be involved in, she is not afraid of trouble but is afraid of trouble.
Not afraid means that no matter what trouble happens, she has the ability to deal with it, so there is no need to be afraid, afraid means that she doesn't like to get into trouble.
"Otherwise, Miss An, come and see the way, I only saw this road leading to the East China Sea anyway. Just in case, can you confirm it again?" Li Shi said very shamefully, his calm appearance did not seem to be deceiving people, as for whether he was cheating, whether he was lying seriously, this kind of thing is only known to Li Shi himself.
"No, it's not necessarily the best, but it's not bad. I haven't walked the other roads, and I don't know if it's safe or not, since Master Li is so sure, let's follow Master Li. An Yirou unexpectedly rejected the method proposed by Li Shi, and agreed with Li Shi's opinion. It's not okay if you don't agree, An Yirou can already vaguely feel the pressure on Li Shi and the other two Sanchongtian, with one enemy and three, there are two oil bottles and a bunch of small soldiers to clean up, and she is not three heads and six arms, how can she deal with it? So she ignored the threatening gaze of the two brothers Sanchongtian, pretended that after thinking about it, she had the same opinion as Li Shi, and went in the direction he said.
"Those who know the times are Junjie, and this An Yirou really sees the situation clearly. Li Shi sighed in his heart and began to lead people inside. Except for him and An Yirou, everyone else is like a blind man here, and they can't find a way out at all, so no one will question it anymore.
"They seem to have begun to fight? Is there a problem with the path they took? I had never heard of strange paths in the mountains before, and there was no treasure, otherwise after all this time, someone would have found some clues, and there would not have been even a little rumor of chasing after the wind. But Li Shi, the old thief, entered the mountains very firmly, and brought so many people with him, I am afraid that he will pay for his blood. If there is no treasure in this, I won't believe it. Shangguan Yi analyzed this matter in his heart. If he can find Li Shi's motives, then he will have the initiative without surprise, and he will get a higher winning rate in the future.
"Could it be that it will only appear within a certain time, or a special puzzle that can be solved?" Shangguan Yi recalled the bits and pieces of meeting Li Shi, and what he said when they met for the first time was:
The fog that has haunted us for so many years will finally dissipate, and the land of chaos will usher in its true master, and our mission has been accomplished, and we will become outcasts of fate, waiting for the redemption of the dawn.
Where do we go from here?
Guests from afar will bring us answers, we just have to wait.
In addition, the time they chose to enter the mountains this time was just when the fog cleared, so it must be something that they could only get during this time, although they don't know what it is, but it is very beneficial to change their situation, so no matter what the price is, they have to get it, and they will not hesitate to fight against anyone.
Hua Xiangrong looked at Shangguan Yi who was standing in place, a little suspicious, what did this guy think?
Shangguan Yi kept up with her pace and shook his head slowly, signaling that she was fine. He wanted to see what happened next, if Master Li could find a path by himself, there was no need for him to bring a group of indifferent people over with such fanfare. He may just be a distinguished guest from afar and a sleepy pillow to catch up with the formation master An Yirou. According to the image of An Yirou described by Hua Xiangrong, if An Yirou feels that something is wrong, even if there is force to threaten her in secret, she will not obediently lead the way for others.
Does Master Li dare? He didn't dare.
Not to mention Shangguan Yi, even Hua Xiangrong can see this.
For a long time in the future, they were indeed moving forward, but for ordinary people, they had been trapped in a maze, and they had walked for a long time, but they didn't go far. Most of the time they are going around in a big circle, although if someone opens God's perspective, they can indeed see that they are approaching their destination, but the efficiency is too slow, at this rate, let alone two or three days, maybe the fog clears and may not be able to reach the East China Sea. Such a result is naturally not that An Yirou can't judge where the road is, but that she did it on purpose.
Li Shi can indeed judge the direction, but he is not always smart, maybe he himself does not realize that the closer he gets to the corners of the formation, the key positions, the worse his ability to judge the direction. In this case, he didn't dare to show the way at all, so he could only let An Yirou come to the rescue.
An Yirou didn't shirk at all, if you asked me to show the way, I would show the way, anyway, I was going to the East China Sea, where I didn't go halfway, I could take any way, so she blindly pointed the way, and took it to this road for a while, and after walking out of this road, she was corrected by Li Shi to change lanes; After repeating this a few times, even passengers who didn't know anything could see that something was wrong.
Nonsense, people who can't see it have a defective IQ and can't live so big at all. If Li Shi led the way, at least he could always feel that he was moving in one direction, and as for whether it was one direction or not, they couldn't tell. But if you let An Yirou show the way, turn left for a while, turn right for a while, and even go back, if you say that this is normal, who will believe it?
"Do you think that Master Li and Miss An seem to be a little contradictory? After Hua Xiangrong approached Shangguan Yi, she whispered that they were a little far away from An Yirou at this time, and they didn't have to worry too much about gossiping.
"Ahem, what's the contradiction, aren't the two of them leading the way tacitly? I feel that at this speed, we will definitely be able to reach the East China Sea in two days, Anla. Shangguan Yi coughed, opened his eyes and said nonsense, and he didn't breathe.
"Oh, okay. Hua Xiangrong understands in seconds, no matter whether the two of them have contradictions, they can't say it on the surface, after all, the hope of this team is on the two guides, and before the road has gone far, the two of them began to fight among themselves, what should the rest of the people do? As for Shangguan Yi's words, he has a certain understanding of him, and he knows that he is talking the opposite and hinting at her. What's more, the best result for walking through the mountains is two days, and in the current situation of increasing difficulty, three days is already the best situation. If there is any accident on the road, four or five days is normal, Shangguan Yi's words are obviously hinting at her, according to this situation, he does not doubt how long he walks.
He didn't dare to tear his face with An Yirou, because without her, he really couldn't find the way, but the current situation was that even if he had her, he couldn't find the way, and he would even be led astray by her. Now An Yirou doesn't dare to go in any direction, for fear that he will go in the opposite direction and go farther and farther. Li Shi has been tossed by An Yirou a bit like a frightened bird, and he is happy and sad about the path pointed by An Yirou, and he doesn't know how to deal with it at all.
An Yirou finished showing Li Shi the way, and before he could make a decision, she walked to Hua Xiangrong's side, approached her and whispered a few words, and then stood to the side, waiting for Li Shi's decision.
As An Yirou's words fell into her ears, Hua Xiangrong's expression changed slightly and became a little complicated.
"What's wrong?" asked Shangguan Yi with a frown. In his heart, the two of them and An Yirou should be regarded as teammates in the same camp for the time being, as for any grievances between each other, they can wait until the East China Sea to count, and Li Shi is another camp, and now the kind of relationship that is going on-for-tat, An Yirou should not be here to threaten Hua Xiangrong, yes, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"She said that if there was a fight, let the two of us run out without any worries, and leave the group, and she would be responsible for finding us and taking us away. Hua Xiangrong leaned into Shangguan Yi's ear and whispered that she was afraid that others would hear it. Not only because this is amazing news, but also because of An Yirou's affection. She could have left the two of them and left on her own, it was easy for her, and it was in line with her usual style, and the people at the border couldn't blame her. But she chose to take the two of them away, and she was obviously the one who was watched the most, and it was difficult for her to get out, let alone when the two of them slipped away, it was even more difficult.
"I can't imagine that the phrase 'everyone has a very different side from usual' is actually appropriate for her, people vote for me with papaya, I repay it with Qiongju, and you don't want to run away like this, right?" Shangguan Yi chuckled in Hua Xiangrong's ear, as if he wanted to do something.
Hua Xiangrong didn't speak, nodded slightly, and expressed what she meant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just discussed it with her and found a very strange problem, and I'm sure you have found it too. Shangguan Yi stood up and attracted everyone's attention with one sentence.
There's no way, the current situation is like this, An Yirou and Li Shi are deadlocked, this team is gradually falling into hesitation, I thought that the situation that the hand was captured, and it was easy to clear the mountains did not happen at all, what happened was like the rumored situation of getting lost and never coming back!
It's terrible, even the helpers hired by Li Shi are a little impetuous, this old guy doesn't know the way he looks, how dare he swear that he will send them back safe and sound after the fact?
In this case, even if a pig stands up to speak, someone will pay attention to him, not to mention that Shangguan Yi's identity is a VIP?
"What's the problem?" said a passer-by, A.
Shangguan Yi glanced at him and continued: "To tell you the truth, I'm more afraid of death, so just in case, after I entered the mountains, I would leave some marks after walking a certain distance, to see if I was lost, the mark looked like this..."
This finger is a little creepy, and the mark is not engraved by this person when he is speaking, but there is a mark on the ground, what does this mean?
"You mean, we've already been to this place once?" said the younger brother of the Triple Heaven with a frown, if that was the case, it would be a bit tricky.
"Again?" Shangguan Yi repeated these two words playfully, looking at the trunk of a tree opposite, which had the same mark on it.
"This..."Hua Xiangrong was a little surprised, if this place had been here three times, it would be very revealing.
"If I'm not mistaken, there is a mark there and there, and this is the fifth time we've walked this place, but the route is different each time, and the terrain here is very similar, so we didn't see anything wrong. As Shangguan Yi spoke, his fingers pointed to two places, and immediately two people who couldn't sit still went to see if there were any, and the result proved that Shangguan Yi's words were right.
Then, everyone looked at Li Shi and An Yirou, and the questioning and anger in them can crush people to death. They are not grateful for the hard work of the two of them, they are only angry, hating them for not fighting and not being able to take them away. Maybe in their opinion, Li Shi and An Yirou should take them out, and they should take them out, and they will pass with a few words, and if they can't take them out, they are hateful and damned.
Without waiting for them to say anything, Li Shi took the lead in explaining: "Don't be angry, I also have a hard time, I have been trying to take you down the road, but unfortunately I don't have enough ability, and I need Miss An's cooperation, but she..." In fact, aside from his purpose, what he said was indeed true, but with the addition of purpose, everything changed.
Li Shi's words were equivalent to throwing the black pot at An Yirou, and also letting others aim their guns at An Yirou, but she didn't explain, whether she would be believed was one thing, and disdain was another.
An Yirou glanced at Li Shi lightly, and then at Shangguan Yi, without saying a word, but made the two of them feel that death was approaching a little bit.
When everyone was still hesitating whether to scold An Yirou, or try to persuade her as gently as possible not to make trouble, Shangguan Yi spoke, how could he let Li Shi reverse right and wrong, who was for the good of these people? Of course, it was An Yirou, who seemed to be vicious and vicious, not the kind and kind Li Shi! How could the primary and secondary black and white of this matter be so confused?
"Heh, here, in the middle, it seems to be going in the same direction, is it really going in the same direction? It seems to be a twist and turn, but in fact it is not necessarily a straight line. What's more, would you rather believe in an old man who has been pampered for so many years but is inexplicably going to come out to lead the team, rather than believe in a formation master who has already led a team of people out of it? From beginning to end, he is leading the way, walking the inexplicable road, taking us around here five times, and I don't know how to go, just like that, what do you want to believe when he says anything?" Shangguan Yi scolded loudly.
"Don't talk nonsense, when Master Li was young, he could walk out of the mountains with his eyes closed. A helper invited by Master Li retorted.
"Have you seen it?" Shangguan Yi sneered, and he was speechless.
"Can you show off your deeds with false rumors and become a bargaining chip to control your life and death?" Shangguan Yi sneered, listening to the ears of those two triple heavens.
"Is the twilight of a hero going to be slandered?" said the younger brother.
"Hahaha, the hero is in the twilight, just by him?" Shangguan Yi couldn't straighten up with a smile, then stopped suddenly, looked at the younger brother sharply, and said, "He is not worthy." Don't talk far, just refer to the Shangguan family, let me ask you, in their lineage, the generals who fought on the battlefield can be regarded as heroes?"
"Naturally, it counts. The younger brother gritted his teeth and said.
"They have suffered less slander? Take a step back, he deserves to be compared to them? If you dare to say a word today, I apologize to him. Shangguan Yi looked at him coldly, and asked him sentence by sentence, completely ignoring the gap between the two people's realm cultivation, and said that it was okay to commit the following crimes
The younger brother's mouth opened, but he didn't say it after all, no matter what Li Shi said, it was just their guide family, and there were outstanding people in the nearby territory, and they couldn't almost support the Shangguan line of a country.
"Since you believe in him so much, you might as well compare. As everyone knows, there are no two kings in a country, there are no two commanders in an army, and only one of the two people who leads the way can control power. Shangguan Yi said on the phone, and finally showed his fangs, he wanted to take away the power of Li Shi to lead the way, and let An Yirou be responsible for the whole process, so that no matter what conspiracy Li Shi had, it would be useless.
"This is not in accordance with the rules, and it is also taboo to change generals on the spot, not to mention Miss An's situation, everyone knows it. The younger brother said unconvinced, obviously he was on top, and he dared to say anything.
An Yirou lowered her eyes to cover the cold light in her eyes, and the stinky brother's brother's face changed, and he immediately reached out to grab his brother, wanting to apologize, but was forced to stop by Li Shi's eyes.
"Great responsibility, talented people live in it. Shangguan Yi's posture is straight, and the momentum of the rainbow suppresses the audience, and the two-word pause, and the five-character statement expresses this oppressive force to the fullest, which makes people subconsciously convinced.
After Shangguan Yi finished saying this, he continued: "You just blamed me for slandering the hero Li Shi in your mouth, so why aren't you slandering Miss An Yirou in this sentence? For us, Miss An is also that hero, if you think he can take you out, then we will go our separate ways, I can't do ungrateful deeds. ”
This passage is a bit shocking, no one has ever said that An Yirou is his hero, because her image is never positive, even if she does good deeds, she will not be praised, but due to her own luck, this is why An Yirou is such a reputation. As for Shangguan Yi's ungrateful deeds, it naturally refers to the kindness of An Yirou, not only did he not feel it, but he still stood opposite her to slander her, and even wanted to do something to her.
As soon as he said this, Hua Xiangrong's mouth opened, a little shocked, An Yirou looked at him with a murderous look in her eyes, no one would ever stand up for her when she was bullied, fight back for her one by one, in order to protect her reputation, in order to protect her, although she doesn't care about fame now, and she doesn't care if anyone will protect her, but she still cares about it before, cares a lot, cares a lot.
"I think you're a newborn calf who isn't afraid of tigers, don't you? Do you know what she's done? Say her name to stop a child from crying, she's killed more people than you've ever walked on bridges, and the people who fear her are like stars in the sky, and you protect her so much that you don't know that what she hates the most is men, especially men who are courteous to her, no matter how old they are, she hates them. The younger brother's face suddenly turned ugly, and the words in his mouth lost their proportion.
"That's enough!" his brother slapped him, the crisp sound made people feel a pain in his cheeks, the stinky brother thought that his own brother would give him a slap, he was defenseless at all, he stumbled after being pumped, almost fell, and his face was swollen.
"Brother, what are you doing?" said the stinky brother incredulously, his own brother actually beat him for outsiders.
"Let you calm down and make amends to Miss An. The elder brother, who was not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, said coldly.
"Why, we don't have to—" He didn't finish his sentence before he was slapped again.
"Because she took you out of it once, this is the second time, because you have a bad attitude towards her, because you don't know how to be polite, righteous and shameful!
It turned out that they were the ungrateful people in Shangguan Yi's mouth.
That stinky brother was stunned, and he didn't know what to do when he stayed there, when did they talk about courtesy, righteousness, and shame? This time, Master Li gave a lot of honorarium, and he didn't want it?
"No need. An Yirou refused the request for reparation, apologized, and was convinced, willing, and magnificent, so she was willing to accept it, and the rest, it was better not to apologize.
"Do you think that apologizing can solve all problems? It's too naïve, just like Brother Ling said, Miss An has hurt people, but which of the Jianghu people present has not had blood on their hands? Hurting people may not always hurt people, not harming people may not always be harmful, apology can solve the problem, but not always able to solve the problem, what do you say, Master Li?" Shangguan Yi's cold words aimed the finger at Li Shi, even if there was the last sentence to cover up, but the smart people who knew a little bit on the scene knew which sentence was the point.
If you don't give us a reaction, I'm going to shake you out.
This is what Shangguan Yi wanted to convey to Master Li, and Master Li naturally received it, so he sighed slightly and said, "Don't quarrel, quarreling can't solve any problems, can Miss An come with me?" Let's discuss the specific things that lead the way, I believe that as long as the two of us work together, we will be able to solve this problem." “
In fact, the discussion route is just a name, and it is the most important thing to reach a close cooperative relationship with An Yirou, otherwise no matter what plan is in vain, as for what conditions to pay, it is a small problem, and people who stand on the cliff and have no way back can give anything.
An Yirou looked at him and followed, but as soon as she moved, Shangguan Yi followed her, and then Hua Xiangrong followed Shangguan Yi again, and Li Shi, who was watching, said with a little headache: "Can you trouble the two of you to wait here for a while?" We should be able to come back soon, and the others are the same. “
"I don't, it's you who said that you will bear the consequences of falling behind, I will follow Miss An, don't try to lie to me. Shangguan Yi made trouble unreasonably, how could he not hear the meaning of Li Shi's compromise, the brother Sanchongtian he invited was almost about to turn his head to help An Yirou, after all, when that brother knew that there might be An Yirou in the target, his emotions were already very complicated, and he was scolded by Shangguan Yi with his head and face, and he was even more embarrassed. In addition, even though they accepted the benefits of Master Li, they also have selfish intentions, and the current situation makes them a little panicked, if the two of them really deal with An Yirou, then no matter what treasure they get, it will be meaningless. Even though they have tens of millions of assets, to outsiders, they are just a dream, and there is no meaning.
Li Shi: "...".
He had never seen such a brazen person.
