Chapter Thirty-Nine: Approaching
Yu Jin and Xiao Qi came out at noon, and experienced the matter of the tiger spirit in the middle, although it was quickly resolved, it was still delayed for a lot of time, and it was soon dark.
The temperature in the mountains is always a little lower than the outside, of course, this is only for those mortals, and it has no effect on Yu Jin and Xiao Qi, after all, the two are not mortals, and this cold can't help them.
Since the two of them transformed into tiger spirits and bear spirits, they have walked for a long time, and they have also traveled a long distance, and they have not encountered any monsters along the way.
Xiao Qi's explanation is that the speed of those monsters is the same as their speed, so they can't catch up with the front, and the back can't catch up with them, so naturally they can't see the monsters.
Despite this, the two of them still maintained the change, which was not a difficult task for them, it would not take a lot of spiritual power to maintain the change, and in the middle of the night, the two of them basically walked half the way.
Although they weren't very tired from arriving, they stopped to rest, and by the way, they waited to see if they could meet other youkai, and they still didn't know a lot of things, and it was good to be able to find some out of the monster's mouth, and even if they couldn't ask anything, acting with the youkai would reduce a lot of unnecessary suspicions.
It's the middle of summer, and the weather is sunny today, and the moon is coming out soon, not very round, but very bright, shining white light in the mountains.
Even if they don't use spiritual power, they can see a rough idea from not very far away, and that hazy feeling has a special charm, Xiao Qi is turning his head and looking left and right.
Every time she sees a blurry image, she will guess what it is, and then verify it herself, if she guesses correctly, she will naturally laugh, if she guesses wrong, she will not sigh, and by the way, she will guess the next one, and she will have a lot of fun.
Looking at Xiao Qi's appearance, Lu Jin couldn't help but feel that being young is good, and even she began to play like Xiao Qi, but she didn't have any interest in it, and she couldn't find the fun in it.
Yu Jin took a look at the moon, for those mortals, the moon always has a charm, and the moon is also very yearning, saying that it is the most beautiful symbol, there are many legends about the moon in the world, and there is a touching story behind each one.
Yu Jin knew in his heart that many of the stories here were imagined by people, and they didn't exist, so what did it matter, and what they cared about was not the moon itself, about this, those mortals were similar to Xiao Qi at this moment, and the more vague they were, the happier they were.
Xiao Qi is a child's temper, and her interests come and go quickly, and she gets tired of it after a while, she runs to Yu Jin's side, sits down against Yu Jin, and puts her head next to Yu Jin's arm, which is the same direction as Yu Jin.
When Xiao Qi was doing this, Yu Jin didn't look at her but had a smile on her face, Xiao Qi said, "Sister, do you say that there are really people living on the moon?"
Yu Jin said: "This is true, there is a Guanghan Palace above the moon, where lives a fairy who thinks it is very beautiful, her name is Chang'e." ”
Xiao Qi smiled and said: "Chang'e, I know, she also has a beautiful story called Benyue, I don't know if it's true." ”
Lu Jin thought for a while and said: "It should be true, Chang'e, I was fortunate to meet her once, and I always felt that she was a person with many stories, although it was just a feeling, it was very real." ”
Xiao Qi sat up straight and looked at Yu Jindao: "My sister must not be false when she says this, I think about it, how lonely it is to live there alone." ”
Yu Jin smiled and didn't reply, many things are like this, what I heard may not be true, and what I saw may not be true, Xiao Qi leaned his head on Yu Jin's arm again and said, "Sister, what do you say Brother Lu Mu are doing." ”
Yu Jin's heart moved, tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Qidao: "What can you do, there won't be many people at this time now, I think they must drink tea together again, this is their hobby, and it is also their habit." ”
Xiao Qi laughed again, Xiao Qi is very clear about their habits, I don't know when they have been like this, according to Yu Yan, this is also a matter of no way.
In the final analysis, they have so much time, and they just happen to encounter such a thing that they don't hate, and it slowly becomes a habit, and it is difficult to get used to this thing when it is formed, and it is also difficult to change it after it is formed, but fortunately, this is not a bad thing, and more importantly, it is something they like.
Xiao Qi doesn't think the tea is delicious, but she doesn't hate it, according to the theory of Yan Yan, Xiao Qi's performance is a habit that is difficult to develop, and it takes a lot of effort to fall in love with drinking tea, Xiao Qi did not agree or refute this, personal hobbies are different, it is originally a very normal thing.
"What if another youkai enter the inn?" asked Xiao Qi.
This is also a problem that Yu Jin considers, they will not have any problems when the monsters enter, I am afraid that those monsters will do something bad to the residents, which they cannot tolerate.
If that's the case, they won't sit idly by, but they don't have a good idea of what to do with them, and they don't know what will happen.
"Naturally, they have a way to deal with it, and nothing will happen. "Woo Jindao.
After hearing this, Xiao Qi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, anyway, even if there is, nothing will happen." ”
Lu Jin smiled lightly, this is not a problem they should care about, Lu Mu will definitely have nothing to do with them, even if there is really something to do, the four of them can solve it very well.
She wasn't very worried about them, she was still worried about the things in the mountains, this matter was the key to the problem, and along the way, the aura that Xiao Qi could sense became heavier and heavier, which meant that they were getting closer and closer to those monsters.
Although they have now made up to look like monsters, it's okay for those little demons, but not for those who are high, they can easily find out, what should they do if they are discovered, this is a problem that Yu Jin needs to consider.
Yu Jin thought about everything from beginning to end again, and felt more and more that this was a conspiracy, and this conspiracy revolved around them, but unfortunately Yu Jin did not receive a reply from them at the beginning of Yu Yuan before he came, which is also a problem.
Yu Jin knew that Yu Yuanchu and Yu Yuanwu had a style of doing things, theoretically speaking, they would not be so procrastinating, and even if they didn't solve it, they would definitely give them a reply, but they didn't do it.
Yu Jin knew that there must be something wrong with this, what could be the problem that made them refuse to even reply, Yu Jin couldn't understand this.
Yu Jin knew what she would consider, and they would naturally consider it, although on the surface she and Xiao Qi came out, it was extremely dangerous for them to enter this pile of mountains and face so many monsters.
But the most dangerous thing is to Mu them, if someone wants to do something to them, going back and forth to the inn must be the first target, Lu Jin and Xiao Qi are their temporary decisions, relatively speaking, it is safer, Yu Jin also has a bad feeling in her heart, she expects that Lu Mu and them will not have any problems.
Xiao Qi stood up, stood on a stone and stood on tiptoe to look, Yu Jin didn't know what was going on, instinctively took precautions, and thought that Xiao Qi had found something, but before he could speak, Xiao Qi said: "Strange, why haven't monsters come in for so long." ”
Xiao Qi's tone was a little complaining, Lu Jin looked at her and shook his head, Xiao Qi jumped down from the stone, ran to Yu Jin's side, took Lu Jin's hands and said, "Sister, do we have to wait." ”
Lu Jin said: "Why, you don't want to wait.
Xiao Qi's brows furrowed slightly: "Well, it's too boring here, there's nothing, and I don't feel any breath coming out of the Dao from there, it seems that there are really no monsters coming, let's wait here, it's better to hurry up, maybe there will be other monsters ahead." ”
Yu Jin put one of Xiao Qi's hands in his hands and smiled slightly: "Then do you feel that there are monsters on the road ahead?"
Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "No, it's not that there are no monsters, but I can't feel it, there are too many breaths of those monsters, and I don't know their location at all." ”
Lu Jin nodded, it's no wonder Xiao Qi, they are not far away from those monsters, Xiao Qi doesn't dare to release all the spiritual power, and it is normal to feel that it is not true.
The feeling of being watched by Xiao Qi never appeared again, I don't know if Xiao Qi's hidden breath played a role, Lu Jin felt that Xiao Qi was right, there should be no monsters behind them.
Instead of waiting here, it's better to hurry up, maybe you can catch up with the youkai who are earlier than them in front, and even if you can't catch up, you won't do any useless work, anyway, they are going to go inside.
Yu Jin stood up, the smile on Xiao Qi's face showed up again, and he jumped forward, Xiao Qi followed behind, and the pace of the two of them was obviously a lot faster.
The two of them rushed to the middle of the night, but they still didn't encounter any monsters, thinking that these monsters must be afraid of missing something, so they arrived early.
When it was almost dawn, Xiao Qi obviously felt that the breath of the monsters was stronger, and the two slowed down, according to Xiao Qi's feelings, they should be less than five miles away from the place where the monsters gathered, and the two discussed countermeasures while walking.
In fact, they already have a lot of plans before, if they meet monsters on the road, they don't have to say anything, they won't be suspected if they go with them, and if they don't meet monsters, they will look for opportunities to sneak in near the gathering place, anyway, those little demons can't see the flaws.
Xiao Qi looked at Yu Jin and said, "Sister, what should we do now?"
Lu Jin said: "Let's go forward first and see what happens." Xiao Qi nodded, the speed of the two of them dropped a lot, but despite this, five miles of road was nothing to them at all.
As soon as he turned a corner, Xiao Qi stopped, his body was close to the stone wall, his face was a little flustered, and Lu Jin also dodged for a while and asked what was wrong, Xiao Qi glanced at Yu Jin and said, "Sister, we have arrived." ”
Xiao Qi's tone was a little nervous, she didn't know that this gathering place would suddenly appear, originally she felt that there was still a mile or two away, but they suddenly appeared, Xiao Qi was naturally startled when she was defenseless.
Yu Jin and Xiao Qi changed positions, Yu Jin looked carefully, and instantly understood the reason for Xiao Qi's panic, in front of them was an open space, the open space was very large, and they couldn't see the end at a glance.
The open space is full of monsters, they sit or walk in groups of three or five, like the clearing, they can't see the end at a glance, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there are so many monsters moving, and few people make a sound.
If you don't listen closely, you can't hear them at all, and you can imagine thousands of various youkai walking around, just nodding and smiling at each other, and rarely making a sound.
Yu Jin's scalp was numb after just one look, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time, Xiao Qi was the same, she glanced at Yu Jin, her eyes were still full of panic, Xiao Qi's lips were shaking and said: "Sister, my heart is beating so hard now, I can't control it at all." ”
Lu Jin also looked at her, and smiled very embarrassedly, Lu Jin's smile disappeared before it fully appeared, and Lu Jin understood what Xiao Qi was talking about.
She also felt like this, not to mention being afraid, but more uncomfortable, just like seeing the most disgusting thing, Yu Jin calmed down, nothing improved, at the moment the monster was in front of them, as long as they went in, but how to get in was a problem.
