Chapter 138: The Strange Story of the Mountain Village
The procession arrived at the end of the day.
The desert in March is still very cold, and it is almost dripping into ice. The crowd waited outside for half an hour, and finally at three o'clock, they shouted in unison: "Bride invited!"
But after shouting for a long time, no one opened the door, and the big guy smiled: "The bride is thin-skinned, I'm sorry!"
After a few more moments, there was still no one to be seen. The leader of the welcoming team was Yan Xin, who approached the door and listened, his face changed abruptly.
Because he heard a "gurgling" sound.
It doesn't matter if the chair is kicked over or the window is opened, either of which is not good.
Some brides will choose to commit suicide because of mental pressure on the eve of their wedding, and such examples are not uncommon in Yanxin's hometown. Although he didn't have the slightest evidence to prove that Zhi'er would do this, the soft sound of the gurgling really startled him.
Experience made judgment instead of reason, and he was heard shouting, "Knock the door open!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then understood. Several big men shouted in unison, "One, two, three!"
Everyone only felt that a cold wind was blowing in their faces, blowing so that people couldn't open their eyes. When I looked up again, I saw a red shadow flashing in the window, and then disappeared.
Yan Xin thought that Chen Zhi'er had jumped from the window, so he rushed to the window in three or two steps and looked down, but there was nothing. When he was surprised, someone shouted, "Look at the heavens!"
Yan Xin looked up, not feeling stunned.
I saw a cloud of black gas rolling up the bright red wedding dress and flying towards the north, as fast as a meteor. Although he had heard countless strange things, this was the first time he had experienced it himself, and he was inevitably overwhelmed.
But Yan Xin is a very adaptable person after all. He pinched the bags under his eyes hard, and the sharp pain lifted his spirits a little, and he commanded: "The two best riders chase north, and make marks along the way." The rest of the people are here and don't let anyone else step in!"
After that, he rode back to report the news.
Liu Banxian was waiting for the pick-up procession, but when he saw that only Yan Xin came back sweating profusely, he sighed in his heart and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Xin's face turned pale, and he said breathlessly: "I don't know...... The monster who came from nowhere robbed Zhi'er ......"
At this time, Li Yan also came out, and when he heard this, he pulled the flower ball on his chest and wanted to ride a horse to chase after him. But I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Slow!" It turned out to be Miyuki.
"How can you keep up with someone flying in the air when you're running on the ground?"
She took out a paper crane from her bosom, shook it in the wind, and its wings were about two feet long, and it fell to the ground like a big bird.
Li Yanyi arched his hand: "Thank you!" rode the paper crane.
The crane shook its wings and was about to take off. But as soon as he got up less than five feet, a black flame suddenly burned on the edge of his wings, instantly burning the paper crane to the ground.
Everyone was shocked, and Miyuki's face was as cold as ice, and she said in a deep voice: "Someone has cast a forbidden technique!"
Li Yan stomped his feet, flew on his horse, and only heard Yan Xin shout "Chase north!" and rushed out at a gallop.
Along the way, there were marks left by the two people in the greeting team, and Li Yan did not stop for a moment, and met the two dozens of miles outside the city.
Their horses were so far apart from Li Yan that they were foaming at the mouth and could no longer run. The two of them said: "Li Daxia, the demon wind is still fleeing due north, but it is already slow, you can catch up after a while." ”
Li Yan didn't say a word and chased after him, and soon he saw a black mist in the air, rolling up his red wedding dress. Li Yan stepped up his urging twice, pulled out a single knife, and threw it into the black mist with all his might.
But seeing the flash of the knife, like a strong wind to dispel the black fog, there was no figure in the fog, and I saw the shawl on the wedding dress fluttering down.
Li Yan was at a loss and called, "Zhi'er, Zhi'er!" But who answered him? After hesitating for a long time, he had to pick up his shawl and return to Ping'an City in frustration.
As soon as everyone saw him, they knew that things were not good, and no one dared to say more than half a word.
At this time, only Miyuki called: "Li Jun, come here." ”
Li Yan stepped forward to take a look, it turned out that Miyuki was casting a spell with a bronze mirror, only to see a village hidden in the undulating mountains, and a black aura rose into the sky, and suddenly dissipated.
Li Yan only glanced at it and sat down, he was worried about Zhi'er's safety, and he was really in no mood to think about anything else.
Miyuki asked, "Li Jun, can you see where this is?" These words were extremely impersonal, as if they didn't care about Zhi'er's safety at all. A few people in the hall were not happy to hear the boss and snorted on the spot.
Li Yan didn't say anything, just shook his head.
This is extremely restrained.
But Miyuki insisted: "Li Jun, you didn't watch it at all. I want you to take a closer look!"
Before Li Yan could speak, a few people became angry. They were originally fanatics in a place outside the law, and they were extremely short-tempered, and said in a rough voice: "Li Daxia, others don't take Miss Chen's life seriously, but my brothers treat her as their own relatives. Let's go and arrange manpower, even if we turn over this desert, we have to get her back!"
After that, he glared at Miyuki fiercely.
Li Yan nodded and said, "There is only one way left now." ”
But Miyuki suddenly said, "I advise you to talk less big." Can you believe the words 'rummaging through the desert'? This is obviously a demon spell, and only magic can compete with it. If you know how to do it, I will give him up at once. ”
Although these words were blunt, they were not unreasonable, and only a few people were silent.
Meixue stared at Li Yan and said, "Li Jun, I know you feel uncomfortable. But please take a closer look, Miss Zhi'er may have been brought here. ”
Li Yan was shocked, and immediately looked at the balls of his eyes, and said after a while: "It's not clear where it is, but it is certain that it is not far away." ”
He pointed to two mountains as high as humps and said, "This is the hump of God, I heard it when I was a cook." ”
Miyuki said: "You just saw that black qi, right? It is very similar to the demon wind that robbed Zhi'er, and it must come from the same monster." I have a hunch that this matter must be related to the Great Karma among the Five Fierce Beasts. As long as we find it, we will definitely find out Zhi'er's whereabouts. ”
Li Yan gave a deep salute: "Thank you, Miss Meixue!"
Miyuki nodded and asked, "How far is the god hump from here?"
Li Yan thought for a while: "One hundred and twenty miles, due north." Let's go. ”
But seeing Miyuki suddenly groaning silently, she didn't agree.
Li Yan suddenly woke up and said, "Miss Meixue, I was offended just now, I'm sorry." ”
Miyuki sighed and said, "Li Jun, others don't understand me and wronged me, it's nothing." In the eyes of others, I'm just an interracial woman after all......"
The few sarcastic Miyuki people just now opened their mouths and wanted to find a staircase for themselves, but suddenly saw Yan Xin's stopping gaze, so they were silent.
Miyuki continued: "But Li Jun, you are living and dying with us in Fusang, how can you treat Miyuki as a ruthless and unrighteous person? ”
Li Remnant's head was sweating like rain, and he couldn't say a word.
But I saw Miyuki put away the bronze mirror and said, "Let's go and lead the horse, the sooner we set off, the better." Li Yan was embarrassed by her few words, so he resigned himself to go.
Everyone thought in their hearts: "This Fusang woman is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is really very different from the Han girl's family......
However, it was said that Li Yan and Meixue picked two of the best horses and went all the way north, and they arrived at the Qilian Pass on the same day. But seeing the afterglow of the sunset, Xiongguan towered, but Zhuge Wuhou, who was out of Qishan six years ago, had already sunk into the three-foot loess. It gives birth to a tragic feeling of unpaid ambition in people's chests.
Meixue sighed: "Li Jun, do you know that Zhuge Kongming is a well-known hero in our Fusang. Legend has it that he was able to spy on the heavens and know the past and the future. But such a hero is still defeated, why do you say?"
Li Yan thought about it, and then paraphrased a sentence from the storyteller: "After all, it's 'people can't fight with their lives', right?"
Miyuki looked at the sunset and muttered, "People can't fight for their lives...... Li Jun, I can see many things with these eyes, if one day ......"
She suddenly wanted to speak and stopped: "Forget it, don't say these boring words, let's hurry." Then he urged the horse to the front.
Li Yan looked at her back, and suddenly noticed a trace of loneliness and sadness.
The two walked and stopped on the ancient road, and finally came to the village shown in the bronze mirror after three days.
Miyuki waved her hand and said, "Wait, I'll check it out first." With that, he took out a very thin piece of rune paper, folded it into a cricket in three or two, and placed it on the ground.
After a while, the cricket shook its head, stretched its legs, shook its beard, and came to life.
Miyuki whispered, "Go ahead and see if there's any danger." ”
The cricket made two calls of "cricket", and escaped into the grass in three or two jumps. After about a quarter of an hour, he came back in a hurry.
Miyuki asked, "How?"
The crickets leaped into her palms, chirping soothingly and long.
Miyuki was slightly relieved and nodded, "Okay, it seems that there is no danger." Let's get there. ”
The two came to the entrance of the village one after the other, only to feel that the village was very warm, as if it was late spring, and people couldn't stop sweating. But I saw the green trees and the mountain flowers. The children ran and answered each other with pastoral songs. It's like a paradise.
When a child saw the two of them coming, he was not afraid of life, and asked, "Where are the two guests from?"
Miyuki said: "Little brother, we are merchants who went to Qinghai, and we have been separated from the caravan. Do you know how to get out?"
As soon as the child heard the word "go out", he immediately showed a look of some fear, and his head shook like a rattle. Miyuki couldn't bear to force him, so she said, "Where is your village manager? Can you please take me to see him?"
The child let out an "um" and waved his hand, "Follow me." ”
The two led the horse and followed him to an antique ancestral hall, which seemed to have a history of hundreds of years.
The child called loudly: "Fourth master, someone is here!"
I only heard an old voice respond: "Got it, please wait, I'll come right away!"
The child said to the two, "Then wait for the two of you." The fourth master has a bad leg and feet, so I guess you will stay for a while. With that, he turned and ran away.
