Chapter Ninety-Seven: Lost in the Jungle
The little Taoist priest turned his head and looked at Yun Wuxian with suspicious eyes.
"You don't believe me?" asked Yun Wuji.
"I've been here for almost two years, and I often go to Houshan, why haven't I found a baby?" asked the little Taoist.
"Maybe you're missing out on the baby. Yun Wuxian said, "Anyway, I told you, in the afternoon, I will go to the back mountain to get the baby, if you believe it, you will go with me." If you don't believe it, don't go. ”
The two came to the stream, and Yun Wuxian filled a bucket full of water. On the way back, Yun Wuxian walked in front of the little Taoist. Yun Wuxian has also practiced martial arts in Moshan for a few days, although he has not made much progress, but the effect of strengthening the body is still there. Therefore, Yun Wuxian carried the bucket and walked on the mountain road, not feeling tired at all.
After picking up the water, Yun Wuxian helped Feng Aya'er chop wood again. Feng Aya'er didn't dare to use spells, and chopped wood with an axe, touching her slender jade hands out of blisters, and when Yun Wuxian came over, Feng Aya'er was using a hairpin to pick up blisters on the water.
"Senior sister, let you be wronged. Yun Wuxian saw the two big blisters on Feng Aya'er's hands, and his heart felt like he had been pricked by a needle, which was very uncomfortable.
"It's good that you know. Feng Aya'er glanced at Yun Wuxian with a tender face, she blinked her eyes and said, "In the future, do you want to listen to me?"
"That's for sure. Yun Wuxian said, "Senior sister, you can sit down and rest." Give me the rest of the firewood. ”
"Did the little Taoist tell you?" Feng Aya'er asked.
"Nope. I've figured it out, though. Hey, yes. Senior sister, do you have anything more valuable on you?" asked Yun Wuji.
"What are you going to do?" Feng Aya'er asked.
Yun Wuxian told Feng Aya'er about his plan. Feng Aya'er thought for a while, took out a golden lock from her body, handed it to Yun Wuxian and said, "Is this okay?"
Yun Wuxian took the golden lock and said, "This thing of yours is too valuable." Is there anything else?"
Feng Aya'er shook her head and said, "You can take it." Anyway, it's useless to wear it on me. Take it. ”
"Senior sister, thank you. Yun Wuxian took the golden lock from Feng Aya'er's hand and put it on his body. In the afternoon, Yun Wuxian finished his work and pretended to sneak to the back mountain, where he first found a cave and put the golden lock inside. Then, he returned to the back mountain, and when he saw that the little Taoist priest was also coming, Yun Wuxian pretended to look around mysteriously, and then, he found the golden lock. Just as Yun Wuxian was about to put it in his arms, the little Taoist priest jumped out at once.
"What are you holding in your hand?" the little Taoist priest asked, standing behind Yun Wuxian and pointing at Yun Wuxian with his finger.
Yun Wuxian turned around and was taken aback when he saw the little Taoist. Hurriedly covered his chest with his hands. Tremblingly, he said, "I, I have nothing." ”
"Dare to lie. The little Taoist priest said arrogantly, "I've seen it all." Hurry up and call it out, or I'll tell Steward Yu that you have good fruit to eat. ”
"Senior brother, don't. Yun Wuxian stepped forward and grabbed the little Taoist's arm and begged for mercy, "I can show it to you, but you promise not to tell anyone." ”
"Well, I promise you, don't tell anyone. The little Taoist priest said absent-mindedly.
Yun Wuxian took out the golden lock and handed it to the little Taoist. The little Taoist priest put it on his mouth, bit it, and was sure that it was real gold. "That's what you call baby?"
"That's just a small part of it. Yun Wuxian said, "There are even bigger treasures." ”
"Where?" asked the little priest.
"'Linglong Tower''. Yun Wuxian whispered.
"You talk nonsense. The little Taoist priest said, "You can't see the Linglong Tower." ”
"I swear, I really saw the 'Linglong Tower'. Yun Wuxian pointed to the front and said, "In that direction, there is a golden light, and it is full of gold and silver treasures. ”
"Why can't you see it now?" asked the little priest.
"I don't know what's going on. However, yesterday afternoon, I really saw it, brother, I really didn't lie to you. Yun Wuxian said.
"Impossible. I've heard that the Delicate Tower has been sealed in an enchantment. You have just entered Maoshan Mountain, how can you see the "Linglong Tower"". You must be lying. The little Taoist priest said, "I'll tell you, the Linglong Pagoda is a forbidden place in Maoshan Mountain, even if you see it, you can't enter it." ”
The little Taoist priest put away the golden lock and left.
Yun Wuxian was a little remorseful, Feng Aya'er's golden lock, in exchange for the information that the little Taoist priest had blocked the enchantment, Yun Wuxian felt that the gains outweighed the losses.
After going back, Yun Wuxian relayed what the little Taoist priest had told him to Feng Aya'er. Feng Aya'er said: "Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago. If it weren't for the barrier, we wouldn't have been able to see it. Senior brother, if the "Linglong Tower" is really blocked by the enchantment, we really can't get in. ”
"Is there no way to do it?" asked Yun Wuji.
"The only way is to find the head of Qingfeng and ask him to send you to the enchantment. Do you think it's possible?" asked Feng Aya'er.
"The Taoist priest of Maoshan is not only the head of the Qingfeng Sect. Yun Wuji said, "Isn't the mystery also enchanted? ”
"Qingfeng doesn't help you, Xuanji can help you?" Feng Aya'er said, "Since the Maoshan faction has sealed the 'Linglong Pagoda', they must not want people to enter. How can we be an outsider? ”
"That's right. Yun Wuxian patted his head with his hand and said, "I thought of a person, he can also make enchantments, I'll go find him." ”
"Are you talking about the Taoist priest who took Bai Ling away?" Feng Aya'er asked.
"The bell must also be tied to the bell. It was he who took Bai Ling away, and I am now looking for him for someone, for a legitimate reason. Yun Wuxian discerned the direction and said, "I remember that I met that person in the back mountain. Tonight, I'll go back to the back mountain. ”
"Didn't you go to the back mountain during the day?" Feng Aya'er asked.
"During the day, I just went to the back mountain of the small courtyard, and I didn't go to the back of Maoshan Mountain. Yun Wuxian said.
"You mean to go around to the back after going down the mountain?" Feng Aya'er asked.
Yun Wuxian nodded.
"I'll go with you. Feng Aya'er said, "This time, if you don't let me, I won't let you go." ”
Yun Wuxian thought that the last time he encountered the "Quartet Ghost" in the back mountain, he almost lost his life. Now that I think about it, I'm still a little scared. It would be better if Feng Aya'er followed.
At that moment, the two made up their minds. Before it was dark, Yun Wuxian and Feng Aya'er lay down and went to sleep. Then, in the middle of the night, Yun Wuxian woke up Feng Aya'er, and the two of them sneaked down Maoshan Mountain, and then, Yun Wuxian led Feng Aya'er towards the back mountain. After turning around for most of the day, Yun Wuxian did not find the place where he met the white-haired old road that day.
"Senior brother, can you still find it?" Feng Aya'er asked.
"Shh!!" Yun Wuxian put his finger to his mouth and whispered, "Senior sister, I saw it." You come with me. ”
Yun Wuxian took Feng Aya'er and let it go to the northwest, and after a while, they came to a village, the village was empty, and there was no one. Feng Aya'er asked suspiciously, "What kind of place are you taking me here?"
"'Wuwei Village'. Yun Wuxian said, "I told you that it was here that I met Qing'er and the 'Quartet Ghost'. ”
While saying this, Yun Wuxian took Feng Aya'er to the room where he met Haoqing'er, Yun Wuxian touched his chin and said, "At that time, the 'Quartet Ghost' wanted to kill me, so I went in that direction. Yes, this is it, senior sister, let's go. ”
Yun Wuxian led the way in front, and the two of them walked two incense sticks and came to a dense forest. Yun Wuxian was about to go in, and Feng Aya'er reached out and grabbed Yun Wuji.
"Senior sister, what's wrong?" asked Yun Wuxian.
"It's very angry inside, I'm afraid there are ghosts. Feng Aya'er said.
"No, it won't. Yun Wuxian said, "In front of me is the enchantment of Maoshan Mountain, and the demons and monsters dare to stay here?"
After finishing speaking, Yun Wuxian bent down and got in. Feng Aya'er also followed in. There was no clear path in the dense forest, and Yun Wuxian could only hide from tree to tree. Soon, the two came to the middle of the dense forest, Feng Aya'er flew up the tree, and then jumped down.
"Senior sister, have you noticed anything abnormal?" asked Yun Wuxian .
"The forest is not big. However, I can't see the edges. Feng Aya'er said, "Senior brother, I think we have entered a place of infinite loop. ”
"Are we in the labyrinth?" asked Yun Wuji.
"It's not a labyrinth. Feng Aya'er said, "The labyrinth is an internal twist. There's nothing strange about this jungle. It's the outside, and it seems to stretch endlessly. ”
"No matter how much. Now that you're in, let's go straight. Yun Wuxian said.
Yun Wuxian said nonsense, but Feng Aya'er didn't refute him. Because she has no idea now, except to walk forward with her head suffocated according to what Yun Wuxian said, Feng Aya'er doesn't know that there is a better way.
It was still Yun Wuxian who took the lead, and the two of them walked a stick of incense. Feng Aya'er suddenly stopped leaving.
She took out the vajra ring, her eyes lit up, and she stood quietly. Yun Wuxian and Feng Aya'er have been together for many days, and when he saw Feng Aya'er's actions, he knew that Feng Aya'er had noticed something unusual.
Yun Wuxian pulled out his long sword, back to back with Feng Aya'er, and asked in a low voice, "Senior sister, where is the monster?"
Before Yun Wuxian could speak, a gust of wind blew from the north, and the wind swept the fallen leaves on the ground, rustling, and Yun Wuxian was terrified when he heard it, and his scalp was numb.
After the gale, the heavens and the earth returned to tranquility. It's just that this tranquility is even more terrifying than the previous wind.
"Where is the monster, Uncle Yun is here, show up quickly. Yun Wuxian shouted loudly.
At the same time, Feng Aya'er threw a diamond circle.
"There is no distinction between the extreme, the heavens and the earth are thundering, and the urgency is like a pardon......"
The vajra circle emits a blue light, and the blue light shines out, emitting a puff of green smoke. Immediately, a voice sounded.
"Brother Dog, don't hurt me, I'm Qing'er. ”
Yun Wuxian heard Qing'er's voice, and immediately thought of the female ghost who was killed by the "Quartet Ghost" in order to save herself. He took Feng Aya'er's arm and said, "Senior sister, quickly put away your vajra ring, she is not Qing'er, not a bad person." ”
Feng Aya'er put away the diamond ring.
Immediately, the green smoke slowly gathered, and there was a woman's shape, but it was too ethereal, and the cloud could only see a rough one. The green smoke drifted towards Yun Wuji, Yun Wuxian stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Qing'er, but wherever he reached it, he touched the void.
"Qing'er, where are you, why can't I touch you?" asked Yun Wuxian .
"Brother Dog, I am now a soul demon, unintentional, ignorant, formless and thoughtless. You can't see me, you can't touch me, you can't feel me. Qing'er said.
"What is a soul demon?" Yun Wuxian turned his head and asked Feng Aya'er, "Senior sister, have you ever heard of a soul demon?"
