Chapter 042: Wandering
I saw those white mist curling up from the ground, like smoke wafting out of an incense burner, from low to high, from far to near, in a very peculiar way of flowing, spreading against the ground.
The morning sun was hidden, the fog was turbulent, and the pale mist floated across the mountainside, and everything here was hidden in the fog, only the top of the mountain was still faintly floating above the thick fog.
A heavy fog came too suddenly, and the two of them got lost in the mountains too suddenly, so that Qiu Lifeng didn't believe what Bai Luoshang said at all.
Qiu Lifeng's eyebrows furrowed, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "Are you going to spend it with me like this?"
Bai Luoshang blinked, reined in the horse, turned around, and said with a serious and heavy face: "We are really lost." ”
After Qiu Lifeng heard this, he glared viciously.
Bai Luoshang pretended not to see it, and continued: "To tell you the truth, I have always tried to find a way, but the road in this mountain is winding and complicated. I've tried my best to find my way, but I don't know why we keep going back the way we started. Now, I don't have much to do. ”
Qiu Lifeng didn't believe his words at all, "Even the most difficult formation has never been able to trap you, and this mere mountain can make you helpless?" ”
"This is the prejudice of the eldest prince against me. Bai Luoshang sighed in a low voice: "Don't the eldest prince know what kind of place this is?"
Qiu Lifeng's eyes revealed obvious anxiety and impatience, and when he heard Bai Luosheng ask, he said in a rough voice: "What place? Isn't it the border of the Southern Xia Kingdom, Tonghu Mountain." ”
Bai Luoshang nodded with a serious face: "That's right, since the eldest prince knows that this is Tonghu Mountain, he must also know that this mountain is also called 'Cannibal Ridge'." ”
On the contrary, the more Qiu Lifeng listened, the more impatient he became, and he glared and asked, "So what?"
"It can be called 'Cannibal Ridge', and the danger can be imagined. The road conditions in this mountain are complicated, thousands of roads, twists and turns, and there are countless cliffs in the mountain, and there are many dangers along the way. It is rumored that in the past, the country of Qianzhu sent troops to attack the Southern Xia Kingdom, and led the troops through here, but for some reason the whole army was wiped out here and buried here. I heard that since then, no one dared to lead an army to attack the Southern Xia Kingdom, and the Southern Xia Kingdom relied on the steep terrain here to protect itself from the invasion of neighboring countries for a hundred years. And it is precisely because of this that ordinary people will not choose to enter the Southern Xia Kingdom from this road. ”
Qiu Lifeng smiled coldly, "You know this area very well. ”
Bai Luoshang shook his head, "If you want to go on this road, of course, you must first do some research on this road, otherwise who do you think is willing to take this risk." ”
Qiu Lifeng sneered, "It's just a rumor, if it's really so dangerous, why do you choose this path? Isn't it killing yourself?"
Bai Luoshang sighed: "I was forced, if I wasn't chased and cornered by so many people, I would definitely not choose this dangerous road." ”
"I don't think you can't get out of this mountain, but you don't want to go out. ”
"How so?"
"It's not the first time you've walked this path, and you're no stranger to it, and since you're not a stranger, how can you get lost. ”
Bai Luoshang shook his head and sighed, "But this time is different from the past. ”
Qiu Lifeng said unhappily: "Why is it different? Could it be that these mountains have moved, and these roads have changed?"
"The mountains are still those mountains, and the roads are still those roads, but when I passed through here in the past, there was no fog. But this time, if you look for yourself, the fog is so big that you can't see the road clearly. ”
"It's so foggy now that you can't tell the way. And what about in the beginning? There wasn't such a thick fog just now, so why didn't I see you going the right way?"
"That's because the scenery here is so beautiful, you see, the mountains here are empty, the scenery is beautiful, isn't it a good place for horseback riding? It is precisely because of the scenery * people that I unconsciously forget the time. ”
"Then do you remember the time now?" Qiu Lifeng pointed to the City God Temple that appeared not far in front of him, his eyes were a little cold, and his tone was a little cold, "Let's start here, I'll give you one last chance, if you can't remember the direction out of the mountain, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”
Bai Luoshang knew that Qiu Lifeng's patience had been exhausted, but he was still not afraid of death and chose to continue to be stupid, he didn't dare to look at Qiu Lifeng, so he had to turn his head not to look at the other party, and then pretended to be serious: "I forgot the time just now, and now I forgot the direction." ”
The words are sonorous and powerful, but in fact they are bluffing.
How could a man who was said by God to be able to ascend to heaven and earth go astray in a mountain?
"Bai Luoshang!" Qiu Lifeng gritted his teeth and threatened: "Then when are you going to remember the direction?" Do you also need me to help you remember?"
Bai Luoshang looked at him curiously, "The eldest prince seems to be more anxious than me, are you in a hurry?"
Qiu Lifeng said: "It's none of your business, don't ask about it, just lead the way." ”
Bai Luoshang laughed a few times, touched his nose, and said with a smile: "I have also known the eldest prince for several years." ”
Qiu Lifeng looked at him suspiciously.
Bai Luoshang sniffed and said with a smile: "Have I ever asked the eldest prince what he has done?"
"No, I didn't. Qiu Lifeng stared at him, "It's like I've never asked you what you've done." ”
Bai Luoshang said: "That's because the eldest prince is not interested in what I do." ”
Qiu Lifeng also said: "I think you should also not be interested in what I do. ”
Bai Luoshang pursed his lips and said in his heart, Qiu Lifeng is really not the kind of person who can easily talk about it, although this person likes to talk nonsense like him when he is happy.
"The eldest prince is a boring person, not interested in anyone or anything. But I'm different from the eldest son, I'm a person who likes to explore secrets. Bai Luoshang smiled and said, "If I want, I will inquire about everything I want to know." ”
"Do you know what I admire most about you?" asked Qiu Lifeng.
"Appearance, light work, and alcohol consumption will definitely not be these three things. Bai Luoshang shook his head and wondered, "Could it be because of my looks?" And you can't look at anyone's face, because you already have a face that no one else can match. ”
Qiu Lifeng looked at him quietly for a while, and suddenly smiled. He didn't say what he admired most about Bai Luosheng, but Bai Luoshang had already answered him with actions. What Qiu Lifeng admires most is Bai Luoshang's cleverness.
"Can I go?" Qiu Lifeng reminded him, "Also, I don't like noisy people very much sometimes. I think you should be able to lead the way, after all, you're not just delaying my time. ”
"Understood, I did my best. Bai Luoshang nodded clearly, he hadn't forgotten that Qiu Lifeng had brought a lot of people out this time. The two of them rode around the mountain, which meant that the group of people could not walk out of the mountain with them.
Could it be that Qiu Lifeng was looking for him just to let him lead the way?
However, this possibility only disappeared in Bai Luosheng's mind, Qiu Lifeng's brain is not stupider than him, he can walk this mountain, and Qiu Lifeng may not be able to go out.
Bai Luoxiang repeatedly promised that he would lead the way well and let them get out of Tonghu Mountain as soon as possible. That being said, when they returned to the original point again, Qiu Lifeng was completely disappointed in Bai Luosheng.
This is a man who is not afraid of death.
Qiu Lifeng looked at Bai Luoshang sideways, with a complicated expression, "Bai Luosheng, you ......"
Without waiting for Qiu Lifeng to speak, Bai Luoshang grabbed the conversation first and said, "Something is wrong!"
"......" Qiu Lifeng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger, and smiled without smiling: "I guess, you have already read Ziyun Daoist's letter." ”
Bai Luoshang glanced at Qiu Lifeng, and after making sure that he would not turn his face immediately, he salivated and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I have already read the letter, and the handwriting of the Taoist is more vigorous and powerful than before, and it seems that his cultivation has improved a lot." ”
Qiu Lifeng said in a cold voice with an expressionless face: "Since you have seen it, why don't you speed up the trip?"
Bai Luoshang rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to be too anxious to get on the road, look at this mountain, look at this water, it's so infinite, wouldn't it be too wasteful to speed up the trip, right?"
Qiu Lifeng still had a wooden face, and after listening to Bai Luosheng's quibbles, he only squinted slightly.
Those beautiful eyes shone with a cold luster, like the frost of early spring, like the stars of winter, beautiful and cautious.
Although Bai Luoshang likes Qiu Lifeng's very beautiful face, she doesn't like Qiu Lifeng's eyes. Those eyes were more beautiful than anyone's, and at the same time fiercer than anyone's.
"Life is at stake, but it can't compare to this mountain and this water, when did you become so afraid of death?" Qiu Lifeng said angrily.
"How did the eldest prince know that that letter was about his life?" Bai Luoshang looked at Qiu Lifeng in surprise and said in surprise: "Could it be ...... Could it be that the eldest prince had read the letter that Duan Nanshan gave me? No, no, when I opened this letter, I didn't find any traces of it being passive again. ”
Qiu Lifeng's patience had been exhausted, and he didn't want to bother to speak any more, so he said loudly: "Bai Luosheng, do you think I really don't dare to touch you? You have to say one more word, believe it or not, I will make you unable to speak again for the rest of your life!"
Bai Luoshang hurriedly covered her mouth and said in a muffled voice: "Didn't the eldest prince talk to me first?"
"So what?"
"I thought the eldest prince was too boring, so I said a few more words to relieve the eldest prince's boredom. ”
Qiu Lifeng didn't want to say anything more, and at this time he had already discovered that talking about these painless gossips with Bai Luoshang was actually a waste of time. No matter what he says, Bai Luoshang is not in a hurry, and he seems to never get tired of talking nonsense.
"You don't look like you're in a hurry. Qiu Lifeng's gaze was fixed on Bai Luosheng, "This is a big surprise to me." ”
Bai Luoshang smiled and said nothing.
"Or rather, you just don't want to be with me. Qiu Lifeng squinted his eyes and said coldly, "This is also a big surprise to me." ”
