Chapter 253: Back to the Mountain
Hu Yan and the others went out of the wine shop, so they took advantage of the moonlight to unfold their methods and hurried towards the direction of Qingyuan Palace.
Ziling was injured and her skills were still shallow, Hu Yan was worried that she wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed, so he carried her early. Ziling knew that the matter was urgent, but she was not pretentious. It's just that along the way, he choked enough nonsense.
Since Hu Yan built the foundation, his body has become much faster, Ziling has never felt such a speed, and he has to close his eyes and hug Hu Yan's neck tightly with his eyes closed.
It wasn't until he came to the high mountains and dense forests near Qingyuan Palace that Wu Qiu gasped and slowed down. Although his skills have improved a lot after taking Zhuji Dan, he is still a little reluctant to keep up with Hu Yan and Lu Yi and others.
Wu Qiu took a few deep breaths before calming down: "There is a miasma forest in front, and now is the time when the miasma is at its thickest, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
Lu Yi smiled and said: "Where there is a poisonous miasma, there must also be antidote herbs, you wait first, I will go in and find it." ”
Hu Yan nodded and said with concern: "Be careful." ”
Lu Yi smiled, agreed, and his body turned into a green light and flew into the miasma forest.
After Hu Yan put Ziling off his back, he turned around and asked, "Ziling, how do you feel?"
Ziling shook her head, but there was a faint flush on her face.
Hu Yan smiled slightly, reached out and stroked the emanation from Ziling's ear, patted her little head dotingly, and said, "Get close to me for a while, be careful!"
Ziling nodded slightly.
Hu Yan smiled and glanced back at Wu Qiu and said, "By the way, where does this road lead to Qingyuan Palace?"
Wuqiu touched his nose and muttered, "I remember that it seems to be the Lost Forest at the inner gate of Qingyuan Palace. ”
"Oh!?" Hu Yan's heart moved slightly, he still remembered the lost forest, the first time he participated in the inner door competition, he almost fell into it. The monster inside is very tight.
"There won't be any demon beasts in the Lost Forest, right?" Although his current skills have already improved by leaps and bounds, far better than at the beginning, now he is not to mention a demon beast, even ten hundred, he can easily strangle them, but at this moment, he still has lingering fears about the demon beast in the lost forest. Maybe it was the demon beast that caused a lot of shadows on his weak mind at the beginning.
Wu Qiu naturally understood what Hu Yan was thinking at this time, and he smiled and said: "Don't worry, last time the Inner Gate Dabi only put two demon beasts into the Lost Forest, and you killed one of them, and one was taken back by the senior brothers after the Inner Gate Dabi ended." Now there are no monsters in this lost forest. ”
Hu Yan took a long breath and said, "That's good!"
Wu Qiu chuckled and said, "With your current skills, how can you be afraid of it?"
Hu Yan smiled, noncommittal, but asked again: "Then after we pass through the Lost Forest, will we arrive at the martial arts arena?"
Wu Qiu thought for a while and said: "If you go all the way to the south, it will be the martial arts arena, and if you go to the southeast, it will be the Wanfa Palace!"
Hu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If it is really as Tianqian said, the inner gate has fallen into the control of Master Huatian, I am afraid that as soon as we enter the inner gate, we will be discovered by them." ”
"This ...... So how are we good?" Wuqiu frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed.
Hu Yan suddenly looked up at Wu Qiu and said, "Is there anything more secret in Qingyuan Palace?"
Hearing this, Wu Qiu touched his chin and suddenly fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Wu Qiu raised his head sharply and said, "You can go around the southeast direction of the Lost Forest to the mountain behind the inner gate, and then enter the deacon hall from the side of the Martial Cultivation Pavilion. The mountain behind the inner gate has always been inaccessible, and no one should find out about us. ”
Hearing this, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's do it!"
As she spoke, Lu Yi floated in, holding a faint fluorescent herb in her hand.
"Luyi, you're back!" Seeing this, Hu Yan hurriedly greeted him.
Lu Yi smiled and nodded, but handed the herb in his hand to Hu Yan: "This is Qingfeng grass, which can solve the miasma of forest poisoning, as long as each person takes one in their mouth, and then covers their face with wet wipes to resist the miasma in this forest." ”
This breeze grass has green and purple leaves, the size of an egg, and the leaf surface is smooth, and it is cold to the hand, although Hu Yan has walked in the mountains all year round, he has never seen such medicinal herbs. He plucked the leaves of the breeze grass one by one, and after distributing them to everyone, he also took one in his mouth, but he felt a cool mouth, like a cold wind pouring into his mouth, which was a bit similar to the taste of mint, but it was more fragrant.
"Hey, why don't you use it?"
Hu Yan found that everyone had leaves, but Lu Yi did not put the leaves of the breeze grass in his mouth.
Lu Yi grinned and said, "Big brother, you forgot." I am a snake, and I have lived in such a harsh environment all year round, and this poisonous miasma will not hurt me. ”
Hearing this, he laughed dumbly and said, "I forgot about this stubble." As he spoke, he took out another piece of clothing from the package, tore it into strips of cloth, soaked it with wine, and distributed it to everyone.
Everyone covered their faces with wine cloth, and after preparing everything, they entered the dense forest full of poisonous miasma under the leadership of Wu Qiu.
As soon as I stepped into the dense forest, I felt a hot and humid breath coming from the ground, mosquitoes and insects were rampant all around, and an unpleasant fishy smell came from the surface.
"Be careful, don't get bitten by the poisonous insects in here, or you will get sick. Lu Yi reminded in a loud voice, but she was calm and complacent, her face was as usual, as if she couldn't smell the stench at all.
Everyone agreed in a muffled voice, and each of them tightened his clothes and mouths, and wrapped his whole neck like a rice dumpling with the wine cloth.
At this time, it was ten o'clock, the sky was about to dawn, and the poisonous insects in the forest were the most ferocious. At this time, seeing the intrusion of the living, mosquitoes the size of dragonflies were like sharks smelling fishy, flapping their wings and buzzing towards everyone.
Hu Yan's heart froze, and he hurriedly sacrificed the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword, and the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword roared with a dragon groan, and it burned with a raging fire.
Everyone felt a smell of burnt paste, and the mosquitoes flying in the sky fell in pieces. The first to bear the brunt was directly reduced to ashes.
Jin Ning'er looked at the sword in Hu Yan's hand, laughed coquettishly, and said with a big tongue: "It's good for you, but a good spiritual weapon is used by you to repel mosquitoes." ”
Hu Yan smiled slightly, for fear that the breeze grass in his mouth would fall out: "Make the best use of things, this dragon soul demon sword can not only repel mosquitoes but also be used for lighting, which is more real than torches." ”
Wuqiu pouted and said, "You are not bitten by mosquitoes, and we will suffer." ”
Hu Yan smiled, but walked aside, cut off two dead branches with a sword, lit them with the sword flame of the Dragon Soul Demon Slashing Sword, and handed them to Wuqiu and Jin Ning'er and said, "Now you don't have to be afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes." ”
Hu Yan grabbed Ziling's little hand and walked forward quickly.
"It's really more popular than people. Wuqiu looked at the inferior torch in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly followed.
With the torches, the poisonous insects around them did not dare to be presumptuous anymore, but buzzed from afar, and never dared to step forward again.
There was a green path in front of them, and everyone had torches to drive away mosquitoes, and there was no great danger along the way, when everyone walked out of this humid and sultry miasma forest, the sky was already bright.
However, everyone fell into a thick fog, and Hu Yan knew that they had entered the Lost Forest Realm of Qingyuan Palace.
Although the forest was still foggy, but there were no poisonous insects and that bad smell, the people who were fed up with the torture of the miasma forest suddenly cheered, tore off the face towel on their faces, spit out the leaves of the breeze grass that were a little bitter in their mouths, and took a big breath of this hard-won fresh air.
After a little rectification, everyone hit the road again.
Hu Yan, who has been to the Lost Forest once, is not worried that he will be lost, not to mention that he already has the ability to survive in the wild, and he has a good way to find the direction, and he quickly identified the direction in this fog. So he led the people all the way to the southeast.
It didn't take long for him to get out of the lost forest, but in front of him was a deserted mountain, and he looked around with weeds that didn't reach the top of his head, but Hu Yan was a little puzzled: "Wuqiu, why is there such a big wasteland in the mountain behind Qingyuan Palace? Why haven't I heard the masters and brothers mention it before?"
"I don't know, there have always been few people coming to this back mountain, and I was also playful when I was a child, but I was scolded by the master, and I haven't been here since. Wuqiu shook his head, and his face was unclear.
When I heard the nonsense, I became more and more suspicious in my heart, could it be that there was something that could not be seen in this mountain? It seems that when will I have to go up the mountain to explore and explore.
"Look, there's the Martial Arts Pavilion in front. Wu Qiu pointed to the golden temple under the mountain, and shouted with some excitement.
Finally returning to Qingyuan Palace, Hu Yan was naturally very happy in his heart, but this was not the time to be happy, he hurriedly pulled a handful of Wuqiu, looked around with his eyes: "Damn, are you trying to tell others that we have come in so loudly?"
Wu Qiu Wenyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and whispered: "I was so excited, I couldn't hold back for a while." I don't think it will be discovered. ”
Hu Yan glared at him fiercely and said, "Can't you kid stabilize the point, quickly say where we can go back to the deacon hall?"
Wuqiu timidly pointed to the right and said, "Go down the mountain from here, bypass the Wuxiu Pavilion, and walk about a mile ahead to the backyard of the Deacon Hall." ”
Hu Yan kicked him lightly, and said viciously: "Don't hurry up and lead the way." ”
Wuqiu touched his buttocks, pouted and said: "Lead the way, lead the way, what is the fierce." Really, I'm your senior brother anyway, how can I treat my senior brother like this. It's really no big or small, and there is no respect for the elders. ”
Seeing Wuqiu's appearance, all the women covered their mouths and laughed. Hu Yan glared at them and said, "What are you laughing at, don't keep up." ”
"Oh!" the women agreed, and hurried to follow.
