Chapter 171: The Northern Snowfield
Qi Jian saw that his mount "Flying Snow" had transmitted a signal to him, and he immediately knew that Zhu Yan must have gone north, so he immediately rode on Feixue and hurried towards the north.
Zhu Fan walked out of the medical hall at this time, looked at the back of Qi Jian who was anxiously leaving, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "I can manage one, but I can't take care of the other." Even a saint cannot take care of everyone in the world. Once the wheel of fate begins to turn, it will never stop, and only you can decide how to go on the road in the future. I can only help you so much at present, and as for how to develop in the future, I can only rely on your own ability. ”
Qi Jian crossed the sea by boat, and then rode his horse through the beach and grassland, galloping across a wilderness, looking for the figure that was most important to him.
He searched to the limit of his eyesight, but between the dusty and turbid world, he could not find any trace of the existence of any living beings.
Qi Jian shuttled and wandered through this dead land, trying to find some clues about Zhu Yan's whereabouts, but the wilderness was vast, and the endless loess made any hope seem slim.
But Qi Jian will not give up, this search is five hours, and it has never stopped. He firmly believes that with his perseverance, he can find a needle in the bottom of the sea, and he will definitely be able to dig out the key clues.
In the sixth hour, Qi Jian's unremitting efforts finally ushered in the results. He succeeded in finding the place where Zhu Yan and Ice Tears were fighting, and from there he vaguely felt Zhu Yan's breath.
When Qi Jian found that there were obvious footprints on the ground leading to the north, he almost jumped up with excitement and said in a loud voice: "Fortunately, I didn't give up easily, now it seems that as long as you follow these four rows of footprints to find forward." ”
Qi Jian then began to follow the footprints to the north, and secretly thought as he walked forward: "It seems that there is only one person who took Xiao Yan away, but why do they walk? Being able to walk on their own proves that Xiao Yan has not lost consciousness, if there is evil intentions towards her, it is obvious that she should be stunned and escape with the Sky Technique, leaving no trace." Could it be that I am thinking too much, Xiao Yan and that person actually know each other? Maybe the two of them just want to catch up with old friends?"
Qi Jian thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a definite answer, so he had to give up the random thoughts in his mind and concentrate on following the footprints on the ground, hoping to find Zhu Yan's trace earlier.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
At this time, Qi Jian had already walked out of the wasteland, crossed the river, and entered a secluded forest.
Half an hour ago, when he saw a long river in front of him, Qi Jian's heart sank. It's not that I'm worried that the snow won't be able to cross this obstacle, because with the snow's ability, it's not difficult to wade through such a not very deep river. But Qi Jian was very afraid that he would lose the important clue to track Zhu Yan, and all his efforts would be in vain.
However, fortunately, after entering the forest, Qi Jian found that the footprints reappeared in his field of vision, which were still very clear, and he could continue to track them without effort.
Qi Jian didn't have time to look at the scenery around him, he just focused on following the footprints on the ground.
In this way, he kept heading towards the north, and the further he went, the lower the temperature became, and in a moment, Qi Jian felt as if he had entered the harsh winter from early spring. At this time, Qi Jian didn't know that he had entered the border of Beiju Luzhou
Engrossed in the ground, he never thought to take out a map to confirm his location.
Suddenly there was no longer a dull and gloomy light, and a light shone into the forest, signaling the location of the exit.
Qi Jian rode forward, stepped into the light, and escaped from the forest, and what appeared in front of him was a landscape that Qi Jian could not imagine.
A vast white earth appeared in front of you, and you could enter the boundless world of ice and snow.
There is no color in this space except the blue of the sky, the yellow of the sun, and the white of the snow. Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see the outlines of several snow-capped mountains, and the scene is spectacular.
This was the first time Qi Jian had seen the snow field in his life, and the scenery here made his originally sad mood suddenly become much more cheerful.
And about a mile in front of Qi Jian, Bing Tear and Zhu Yan were still walking unhurriedly, as if they were deliberately waiting for the "chasing soldiers" behind.
Bing Tear's extremely keen hearing had already sensed Qi Jian's approach, she smiled slightly, and quipped to Zhu Yan, who was now unconscious: "Senior sister, it seems that your lover has caught up, how do you say we should entertain him?"
Of course, there was silence that greeted her question, and now Zhu Yan didn't understand the meaning of her words at all, and she didn't think it was an order, so she would definitely choose not to respond.
Bing Tear naturally knew this better than anyone else, but she still continued to say to herself in a bad tone: "Since you don't speak, then I'll deal with it in my own way." ”
At this time, Qi Jian followed the clearer footprints on the snowfield to explore forward, and gradually, he saw the flame of hope burning.
Not far ahead, two figures entered Qi Jian's line of sight, and the one on the right was obviously the lover he was missing.
"Xiao Yan!"
Qi Jian shouted Zhu Yan's name loudly, eager to get a response from her, but what made him feel strange was that Zhu Yan didn't give any kind of response as if he hadn't heard it at all.
Hearing Qi Jian's shout, Bing Tear stopped, turned around and looked at Qi Jian, who was riding a white horse and hurrying over.
"Sure enough, it is a talent, and there is really no need to question the vision of the senior sister. After looking at Qi Jian for a while, Bing Tear smiled and smiled.
Qi Jian had now come to the two of them, he turned over and dismounted, and said to Zhu Yan again: "Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you, why didn't you answer when I asked you just now." ”
However, this is close at hand, and the words that will be heard no matter what, Zhu Yan still turns a deaf ear, as if the wooden man generally has no response.
At this time, Qi Jian saw that Zhu Yan's state was abnormal. Her eyes were cloudy and glazed, very different from her usual ones, clearly under mental control.
Qi Jian immediately understood at this time that Zhu Yan should have been dominated by the woman in red beside her in some way, so he followed her out of Shuangzhou Town and came to this snowfield.
Thinking of this, Qi Jian was angry, and asked Bing Tear angrily, "Who are you, and what did you do to Zhu Yan?"
Bing tearfully pursed his lips and smiled, and said in an unhurried tone: "This son doesn't have to ask so many questions in a hurry, it's better to answer the next question first." Senior Sister Zhu Yan and you should be lovers
Yes. ”
"Senior sister, you are Xiao Yan's junior sister, since she is your elder, why do you treat her like this?"
Qi Jian ignored Bing Tear's question, but continued to express his doubts like a cannon.
"With such an affectionate call, it seems that my guess is correct. Let me answer your questions one by one. ”
After a moment's pause, Bing Tear continued, "I am indeed Zhu Yan's junior sister, and I am also a disciple of the Chongling Sect with her. I didn't do anything to my sister, I just took her to visit my new home, Childe, you should have misunderstood something. ”
"You're lying, I've already said hello to Xiao Yan twice, and she didn't pay attention to me, if it was normal, she would have already responded. If you hadn't done something to her, how could she have been so silent? With her character, she would have come up and explained to me by herself at this moment. ”
Qi Jian argued with reason, trying to tear the hypocritical face of the woman in red in front of him.
"Okay, I'll let her talk to you in person, how about it?"
Although Ice Tears said this at the moment, he was not sure in his heart whether the puppet could hear the order given by the teleportation technique. However, she is not worried, once she fails, she will directly reveal her true face and knock the other party down.
But to Bing Tear's surprise, the sound transmission technique actually achieved results. I saw Zhu Yan suddenly walked in front of Qi Jian and said to Qi Jian: "I'm sorry, you are treating in the hospital just now, I haven't had a chance to tell you, this is my junior sister, she wants to take me to her residence for a tour, or you can come with me." ”
The moment Qi Jian heard Zhu Yan's tone and expression, he knew that she was just repeating what others said, and the person who conveyed this passage to her and let her say it was undoubtedly the "junior sister" beside her.
Qi Jian did not respond to Zhu Yan's "invitation", but showed a disdainful expression to Bing Tear, and sneered: "Do you think I'm a fool?
The corners of Bing Tear's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled: "I want to know how you found the flaw? ”
"It's very simple, Fang Cai's words can't be said by Xiao Yan himself, just two points are enough to see through the truth. First, it has been ten years since Xiao Yan and I first met, and the way she spoke to me was never the same as just now. Second, I didn't go to the clinic to heal the sick, but for a purpose, which is a fact that you don't know. Qi Jian said in an unusually calm tone.
Hearing this, Bing Tear suddenly laughed a few times, and said, "I did deceive you, Zhu Yan has now been cast by me to control the spirit, and he will only obey my orders in the future." If you think you have what it takes to take her away from me, just try it, and I'll be there for you to the end. ”
Qi Jian, whose face was calm, was actually full of pain and despair in his heart at the moment, because he knew that he was not capable of competing with the woman in front of him who had subdued Zhu Yan, but if he gave up like this, how could he be worthy of Zhu Yan?
"Even if I fight for this life, I must save Xiao Yan and escape her clutches forever!"
Qi Jian, who had made up his mind, suddenly pulled out the long sword on his waist that had never been unsheathed once since he left Penglai Island, and used all the strength of his body to stab at the ice tears.
