Chapter 168: Unexpected Autumn Rain
Shen Chaixing quickly injected internal force into Linglong'er's meridians, and took advantage of the situation to dissolve the corpse poison in Linglong'er's body. After waking up, Linglong saw Shen Chaixing, and immediately anxiously urged Shen Chaixing: "Hurry! Qianqian is dangerous, she was taken away by Mr. Gong! Go find her!"
Shen Chaixing simply asked about the situation, and it turned out that although the two of them were afraid in their hearts after meeting Mr. Gong, they still rushed out of the canyon, used joint swordsmanship, and tried their best to deal with him, hoping to wait for Shen Chaixing's rescue.
It's just that the exit of the canyon is also very narrow, which is not conducive to the two of them, the two of them fought and retreated, and when they retreated to this place, they couldn't hold on anymore, Mr. Gong first slapped Linglong'er who was blocking in front of him out of the cliff. At that time, Linglong'er, who fell into the abyss between the cliffs, launched the silver wing flying claw at the moment of life and death, and buckled it in the stone crevice to temporarily save her life. It's just that after the battle, he was poisoned and wounded, and he no longer had the strength to climb up. If Shen Chaixing hadn't arrived in time, Linglong'er would have fallen into the abyss at this moment.
Shen Chaixing called out "Good luck in misfortune", and asked, "When you are below, can you hear the direction in which Qianqian walked?"
Linglong'er said: "I was hanging on the cliff, where the wind was very loud, I couldn't hear it clearly, and I had a general feeling that Qianqian was fleeing to the left at that time." ”
On the left is a downhill road leading to the southeast, Shen Chaixing guessed that Qianqian fled from this road in a panic, it should be because the destination of the three of them was the Jingshi in the southeast, so they chose this road to escape, in case they could escape from the clutches of the devil, maybe they could meet Shen Chaixing on this road.
But Shen Chaixing didn't find any traces when he surveyed just now, indicating that someone deliberately removed it, so Qianqian may have fallen into the hands of Mr. Gong.
Shen Chaixing hurriedly got up and said: "Let's search to the left, your injuries have not healed, you can't walk fast, but you can follow slowly behind, and in case of emergency, call out to me." With that, he turned and headed southeast.
A trail winds down the mountain, sometimes winding between cliffs and sometimes deep into the forest. Although Shen Chaixing was anxious, he still observed carefully, hoping to catch clues to make sure that he was not going in the wrong direction. However, nothing was found. Just when Shen Chaixing thought that he had lost the best opportunity to find Ouyang Qianqian because he was looking in the wrong direction, Shen Chaixing suddenly found that a piece of moss on the right near the stone wall had traces of being trampled on.
Shen Chaixing suddenly realized that the direction that Linglong'er heard was correct, and he didn't find the wrong route, it was the other party who deliberately performed light skills and did not take the middle of the path, but picked the place that was not easy to detect on the side of the road to travel, and when he really had to go in the middle, he stopped and removed the traces.
Shen Chaixing stopped and looked at the moss marks carefully, and he also stepped on it with light skills, and found that the traces of the other party were heavier than those left by himself, it is conceivable that the other party was carrying a person to this place, so it seems that Qianqian must have fallen into the hands of the other party and has lost her ability to act. There was certainly nothing wrong with the direction of his own pursuit. If it is not bad, the other party will not cover up the traces for a long time, otherwise it will take a lot of time, and they may be caught up by themselves.
Sure enough, after chasing for a while, I finally found obvious marks in the middle of the road, and the footprints were deep, obviously left by one person when he carried another person. Shen Chaixing hurried to chase after him, there may be two reasons why the other party is so disregarding the traces, maybe he thinks that he has successfully got rid of the tracker, or maybe it is another reason, Mr. Gong can't wait to violate Ouyang Qianqian!
Time waits for no one, and every moment you stay, Qianqian will be more dangerous. Shen Chaixing no longer made detailed observations, let go of his footsteps, and rushed down. Mountains and rocks and several branches roared past Shen Chaixing's ears, and Shen Chaixing performed light skills, almost rushing on the mountain road without a single step.
Not long after, Shen Chaixing went into a dark dense forest, only to find that he had come to the foot of the mountain. The tall and ancient trees covered the sky and the sun, and Shen Chasing Xinggong gathered his eyes to see the surroundings clearly, and found that a rag was hanging on one of the bushes.
Shen Chaixing hurriedly stepped forward to take it down and watch, its patterned fabric was very close to Qianqian's skirt, and immediately pulled out the sword behind him, cut through the thorns, and looked forward. Several large smooth stones were laid out one after another on the ground in front of them, probably because of the presence of these stones, there were not many tall trees here, as if a clearing had suddenly appeared in the middle of the forest, and these tiled boulders seemed to be the large beds for people to rest in this clearing.
Shen Chaixing secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly walked in to take a closer look, and sure enough, some torn dresses were found around this smooth and huge stone, which were Ouyang Qianqian's dress! At the same time, there were a lot of blood stains sprinkled on some stones. Qianqian was killed.
Until this moment, Shen Chaixing couldn't bear it anymore and wailed loudly! The wailing sound was like a resentful ghost crying, and it was like a wounded beast howling, which was full of anger, helplessness, sadness, self-blame, and despair! The surrounding woods made a rustling sound, and it seemed that they were also moved, and they were sad and sad for Shen Chaixing.
A pair of soft arms were wrapped around Shen Chaixing's waist from behind, and Linglong'er put her cheek on Shen Chaixing's back, and said softly: "As long as we don't see Qianqian's body, she may still be alive, and we can't give up hope!"
Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er once again searched the surroundings carefully, in addition to the broken clothes and bloodstains found just now, there were also some traces of fighting and struggle, and there were no other clues.
The two of them did not give up, and looked for it in the distance. Sure enough, I found footprints not far in front, and after walking for a while, a lake appeared in front of me, which was very wide, and the footprints stopped abruptly. Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er couldn't help but be confused, could it be that Mr. Gong took Qianqian to escape from the lake?
At this time, the sunset had already set, and the sky in the mountains was darkening at an unimaginable speed, and even more unfortunately, the black clouds turned over, the mountain wind suddenly rose, and an autumn rain came unexpectedly.
Xu Moran and Shang Yun'er took Lan Yue and the four Momen warriors to continue to travel west from the river. Of all the ways to get around, there is no doubt that taking the boat by water is the most comfortable way, and there is no one. Coupled with the blue moon that cannot be moved at all, it is the best choice to take the waterway from the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River is roughly divided into three sections: upstream, middle and downstream, its source is in Tuotuo River, it is Tongtian River that flows to the east, to the mouth of the Min River in Yibin, Sichuan, called Jinsha River, this section of the river is high and deep, the water flow is turbulent, the drop is very large, and it is not easy to boat. Then the Yichang section from Yibin to Hubei is called the Chuanjiang River, and the Zhijiang River in Hubei to the Chenglingji in Hunan is called the Jingjiang River. As for the section of the river below Jiangsu, it is also called the Yangtze River.
Xu Moran's ship did not move forward when it reached Yibin, first, the Jinsha River drop was too large, and it was very dangerous for the boat, and secondly, this section of the river turned to the south, and to go to Kunlun Mountain, it had to go ashore and travel to the northwest.
Kunlun Mountains, also known as Kunlun Xu, China's first sacred mountain, the mountain of ten thousand ancestors, and Jade Mountain. The mountain range stretches from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau in the west, across Xinjiang and Tibet, and extends to Qinghai.
Ancient mythology believes that there is a fairy "Queen Mother of the West" living in Kunlun Mountain, with a human head and a leopard body, served by two blue birds, which is the Taoist god, and the prince of the East is in charge of the matter of cultivating immortals for men and women. Kunlun Mountain is divided into the western section, the middle section and the eastern section, Xu Moran wants to take the blue moon to the Yuxu Peak, Sun Moon Ridge, Suoshen Cliff in the middle of the Kunlun Mountains, Xu Moran and several people and their boats landed all the way to Qinghai and Tibet, can take a carriage to take a carriage, no carriage to take an ox cart, and finally arrived at the plateau after the mountain area only walked.
When I came to the foot of Yuxu Peak, I had been walking for more than three months. I saw the grass all over the ground at the foot of the mountain, saw the cattle and sheep from time to time, and looked at the Yuxu Peak from afar, covered with snow, like a fairy standing quietly. Shang Yun'er couldn't help but praise. Xu Moran smiled: "At this moment, you see that she is a fairy, and if you go inside, she may be a shrew." ”
Shang Yun'er disagreed. Sure enough, a few days later, everyone came to a valley, and the grass was still delicious, but there were no cattle and sheep grazing.
Shang Yun'er was very strange and asked Xu Moran what was going on. Xu Moran pointed to the grassland in the distance and said: "If you look closely here, you will see many bear bones, wolf skins and other beasts and human corpses, which the locals call the Valley of Death. ”
Shang Yun'er was curious: "What is the reason for that?"
"The locals thought it was the place where the demons were, so they were so awe-inspiring that they didn't even want to talk about it. Xu Moran replied, "In my opinion, there is nothing magical about it, this place is very close to the Lock God Cliff where we are going, it is all the same reason, the surrounding stones contain a large number of magnets, so it is easy to provoke lightning clicks." ”
Seeing Shang Yun'er's somewhat worried face, Xu Moran comforted: "Although they were all struck by lightning and lightning, the Valley of Death has no return, and there is nowhere to hide. I've been there before, I know where to hide, otherwise how could I stand here now?"
Everyone was already convinced by Xu Moran, and they were relieved to see that what he said made sense. When he walked further inside, he saw Tibetan herdsmen, Xu Moran actually communicated with them in Tibetan, and then used the gold he carried to buy a few fat goats.
The Tibetans were so happy that before Xu Moran left, they gave him several generations of goat's milk wine that they had brewed themselves, and begged the gods to bless the people.
After entering the mountain, Lan Yue remained silent, and Shang Yun'er thought he was worried about whether he could heal his injuries. In fact, on the contrary, as she got closer and closer to the Lock God Ridge, Lan Yue felt that power. Specifically, the Jin Dan in the blue moon body felt the kind of power hidden in the Suoshen Ridge and even the entire mountain peak, it was an energy from the universe, and the internal force obtained by people who had cultivated hard for decades was simply a drop in the ocean and insignificant compared to this power, and he would definitely use this power to heal himself. Not only that, but if he can gain the ability to control and use this power, Blue Moon will be invincible!
In the presence of this absolute power from the universe. No one can stop it, not even Zhu Yuanzhang, who is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor. Thinking of this, Lan Yue's heart trembled with anticipation.
