Chapter 16: Into the Mountain
The four of them rested in the village for one night, and the next day they were ready to go. Jing Yu and Bai Yue'er went to the direction of the river valley with the village team, while Ye Baiyi and Yin Youcheng found a brave villager to enter the mountain together. When the sun is in the sky, the white mist on the top of the three-inch mountain lingers, like a fairyland, but there is a strange feeling that people can't say.
The young villagers who took the lead were obviously very familiar with the mountain road, and soon several people came to the mountainside, and then went up to the fog shrouded area, and there was a vast area as far as the eye could see, even if they were here, their eyesight was limited.
The young villager's face was not good. He was hindered by the generous remuneration given by the two sons along the way, so he really didn't have the face to speak, and it was only now that the young villagers mustered up the courage to say: "The two sons, from small to large, have no less than ten bad shoes on this road. But now you have seen the scene in front of you, not a small unwillingness, but this fog is thick, the people who go in encounter poisonous snakes and beasts or something, the key is that they can't even see the road clearly, we are not a master of listening to the pigtail position on the rivers and lakes, and no matter how capable of knowing the way, it is blind. A few days ago, there were people in the village who went in, and more than a dozen people were stunned for a long time and returned to the same place, which is still good, in case there is something wrong along the way, and getting lost and trapped in it is not a mistake to become a thousand years of hatred, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
After hearing this, Ye Baiyi said with a smile: "You just lead the way, and when you can't recognize the direction, you can return the same way, and you can handle it yourself." ”
The young villager sighed, waved his hand and said, "This is really impossible to move forward, and the little one is afraid of leading the two sons astray." If you want me to say that we go around this mountainside, we can get to the other side of the mountain before dark, and if the two sons are willing to lead the way. ”
Ye Baiyi shook his head, took out a silver ingot from the package and said, "If we add another ten taels of silver, we will go up the mountain, you just have to do your best, and I will bear the consequences." ”
The young villager looked at the silver ingot in the hand of the white clothes in the night, hesitated, and finally couldn't survive the stalking between the two, so he took it with a blue face and said: "That's good, at most, we can only take the two sons for a mile by feeling, and the rest depends on the creation of the two sons." ”
The three of them continued to walk forward for about a mile, and finally the young villager said "farewell", then turned around and rushed into the fog and ran away, leaving only Ye Baiyi and Yin Youcheng standing in place. At this time, the two of them could not only feel their feet still falling on the ground, but there was no human scenery, as if the world had returned to chaos, all white and expansive, and the five fingers could not be seen when they stretched out their arms.
Ye Baiyi meditated, sat down cross-legged, leaned on his left side in front of his forehead and made a seal with one hand, and his right hand fell to the ground to draw a picture. The position of a sorcerer has been a medium of communication between man and god since ancient times, and wizards of all ages have their own unique way of communicating with all things in heaven and earth. At the moment, the night white clothes take themselves as the gods of heaven and earth, and the mountains and rivers in their eyes are picturesque, but this technique is extremely consuming, although the night white clothes have practiced the art of witchcraft since childhood, but after all, this move is tantamount to peeking into the heavens, and if the caster has an inch, he will definitely be eaten by it.
Ye Baiyi's eyes suddenly opened, and a wave of qi that was visible to the naked eye was spreading out layer by layer in the center of his body. Ye Baiyi wiped away the beads of sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, and slowly got up, and his lips gradually turned from pale to rosy. Looking down, there was a simple gossip array on the ground.
As expected by Ye Baiyi, it was obviously whimsical for the fog alone to hinder the villagers who had lived on this land for decades from entering the mountains, so using the fog and applying the formation was the best cover. Ye Baiyi has studied hundreds of schools since he was a child, and he has also dabbled in gossip and arithmetic. The entrance of the north mountain of Sancun Mountain is the door of life, which does not hurt people's lives, so it is free to enter and exit, but if you want to enter the array, you can't find the way according to common sense.
"Brother Yin......" Ye Baiyi turned around to find Yin Youcheng, but there was no response
"Brother Yin?"
There was silence all around, and the sound seemed to be swallowed up by the white mist. The white clothes of the night stood still, the thumbs and index fingers of both hands were slightly leaning, and the rest of the fingers were spread out in turn, sealing the sun wheel, inducing the qi, and snorting softly, and then a gust of wind suddenly rose around the body, blowing away the white fog within three zhang, and the faint sunlight rushed into the ground, and this mountain road was slightly vibrant. I saw that the forest was empty, how could there be a figure of Yin Youcheng, the white mist that was blown away paused for a moment, and then continued to erode in, and the short and clear vision was dying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Yin Youcheng!" Ye Baiyi said loudly, but there was no response. Taking advantage of the fact that the field of vision has not yet disappeared, Ye Baiyi quickly observed the surrounding environment, and found that there were obvious traces of man-made on the mountain road.
Since he couldn't see the road anyway, Ye Baiyi might as well close his eyes, relying on the memory of the formation chart and the rest of his five senses, he walked less than a mile, and then changed direction, going back and forth several times, seemingly walking in a disorderly manner, but always gradually approaching the mountain. If this simple eight-inch array wants to cover the entire three-inch mountain array, the only way to set up the eye of the mountain array is to set up at the top of the mountain, so that the outer array can cover it like a hat, so as to retreat from the comers.
Half an hour later, Ye Baiyi suddenly opened his eyes, and the vision in front of him was still not very clear, but compared to the fog before, he had dissipated a lot, and at least he could see a trace of the winter greenery on the top of the mountain and the general outline of the branches.
The night white clothes stepped forward slowly, broke through the fog, and finally saw the light of day. This is already the top of the mountain, and from this place looking down the mountain, some village houses can be faintly seen through the mist, and the winter sun covers everything like a flocculent, which looks very lively. The night white clothes untied the long sword on his back and held it in his hand, the yellow sand on the ground was scattered, the gravel was everywhere, and it was not difficult to see that there was a fierce battle here with all kinds of traces of fierce fighting. When the white clothes of the night took a closer look, Jing Hong glanced at the fine knife marks on the tree, and suddenly his mind was stunned, and he was extremely surprised.
Although today's knife schools have their own merits, but the origin is still attributed to the Qingcheng lineage, and the most unique point of the Qingcheng lineage is that the knife can be climbed to the extreme when it is out of the sheath. This also makes countless rivers and lakes saber Lang can use his fist to solve the matter is not easy to get out of the knife, and even some people carry a double knife, a knife is uneven, a knife to raise the qi machine, this method is also known as raising the knife to save the intention, just ask for a knife out of the sheath stone to break the earth, immediately take the head of the person.
But the two or three knife marks on the trunk of the tree at the moment were obviously the same person, but their momentum opened and closed unabated, as if each knife was as powerful as a bamboo out of the sheath. How unique is the eye of the night white clothes, at a glance to perceive the clues, see the subtle knowledge, it can be seen that this person with a knife has a deep knife skills, which can be described as peerless. Ye Baiyi thought about it carefully, in his impression, it seemed that he had never seen Yin Youcheng's saber out of the sheath at his waist, he thought that Yin Youcheng deliberately raised the knife deliberately, but if he thought about it like this......
A black shadow suddenly appeared faintly from the fog, and then broke through the fog, and Ye Baiyi was about to draw his sword, but saw that the person was Yin Youcheng. It's just that Yin Youcheng at this time was really embarrassed, his hair was scattered, and there were countless wounds on his body, and the iconic black robe was untied by him and wrapped around a huge thing, and he carried it on his back, so it must have been quite an easy journey.
Yin Youcheng walked towards the night white clothes step by step, but he didn't catch his breath halfway through, stumbled to the ground, simply sat down, threw the things wrapped in the black robe behind his back, and fell on it on all fours, looking at the sky, his chest rose and fell violently. After lying down, he didn't forget to scold: "This fucking thing of your uncle is really dead!"
Yin Youcheng's heart hanging after seeing the night white clothes fell halfway, and he showed his face again, and after gasping for a while, he propped up half of his body and said, "Hey, you really guessed it, sir, this matter really has something to do with the broken stone!"
Ye Baiyi turned sideways and saw the thing wrapped in a black robe behind Yin Youcheng, and he had already guessed eight points in his heart. Said softly: "Let's go down the mountain." ”
