Chapter 11: Closing the Mountain

Qi Chu and the three of them ate in the stone room for a whole hour, and in the end, if he hadn't pulled Lan Ting, I'm afraid he would have to spend the night here tonight. When the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info was leaving, Lan Ting also put the wine on the table into the wine gourd and took it away, and even the only remaining poor roast duck meat was wrapped up by him and secretly stuffed into his arms.

"Childe, now that it's dark outside, do we really have to travel overnight?" Lan Ting asked

"Shi Gongzi's whereabouts are unknown, and now we don't even have Lingxue's whereabouts. I think it's very strange in this mountain, so I'd better get out of here first and then think about it in the long run. Qi Chu glanced back at Shi Ziyu.

Shi Ziyu said: "Your son-in-law is right, we are racing against time, if we are a moment late, we don't know what will happen next." ”

Lan Ting said: "Okay then, I'll lead the way when I go out." You go in the middle, and the son is broken. ”

Qi Chu nodded, seeing that Lan Ting was growing more and more responsible, he was really happy for Yan Han.

"You're the one who hurts people!" Shi Ziyu said not to be outdone

Lan Ting said: "If you hadn't touched the mechanism, we wouldn't have tied people up and hung them on the roof, and we almost lost our lives." What are you not a harmful spirit?"

Shi Ziyu glared at him and said, "It's long-winded, don't leave quickly." ”

There was a tunnel behind the stone chamber, and the three of them walked along the tunnel for a while before walking out.

At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the mountain wind is strong, which can't help but make people feel refreshed, but the cheeks exposed to the mountain wind are blown painfully. Lan Ting was full of food and drink, and even had the strength to walk. After walking for about two miles, suddenly there was fog all around.

Lan Ting said: "How can there be fog in such a strong wind?"

Shi Ziyu also said: "Yes, you see that this fog can't even blow away from the wind." ”

Lan Ting said: "Could it be that we have alarmed the mountain god? I heard that the mountain god is angry but wants to eat people." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, where are the mountain gods. Shi Ziyu was a little scared and looked around.

Qi Chu reminded: "Take out the fire fold and continue walking." ”

"Hmm" Lan Ting lit a fire, and the three of them walked for another half an hour. But the fog is getting bigger and bigger, and the stuffy people are panicking.

"Childe, I can't see the road ahead clearly, so I can't walk. Lan Ting was a little discouraged

"It's really useless, look at me!" Shi Ziyu was anxious, she didn't want to stay in this ghost place all night, so she grabbed the fire and walked forward quickly. Qi Chu was just about to block it, only to hear her shout, "Help!"

It's easy to say that you meet tigers, leopards and jackals in the deep mountains, but if you encounter those strange things, Qi Chu doesn't dare to be careless. I saw that the green light around him rose again, and he forced back three feet into the fog, and his figure jumped in front of Shi Ziyu like a dragon out of the sea, grabbing her hand. It turned out that there was a cliff in front of him, Shi Ziyu walked too quickly, stepped on the air under his feet, and almost fell. If Qi Chu was a little later, she would definitely fall to pieces.

Qi Chu pulled her up, and Shi Ziyu was shocked when she heard Lan Ting say, "No, we obviously went down the mountain, how did we get to the top of the mountain?"

Shi Ziyu's face turned pale when she heard this, and Lan Ting said again: "I really met a ghost!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shi Ziyu covered her ears, obviously frightened.

Qi Chu frowned, he had seen a lot of strange things in his life, and he had also seen the ghosts and evil things in people's mouths, and he still had palpitations when he thought about it now. When he saw Shering today, he had a hunch that there must be a powerful background behind Shering, and there must be that terrifying evil thing in it.

Suddenly, Lan Ting said, "If you meet a ghost, you will be in trouble." When I was a child, Grandma Wang died next door, and the body was placed in the tent when a black cat passed by. Grandma Wang cheated the corpse at once, and a good human face turned into a cat face, which was particularly terrifying. ”

Shi Ziyu only felt that he was sweating, cold sweat!

"Then Grandma Wang, who cheated the corpse, turned into a cat demon and bit a lot of people to death. ”

"Later, what happened?" Shi Ziyu asked timidly

Later, I asked a Taoist priest to stop her, and she was burned to death. Lan Ting said that he was also scared.

"Childe, what should we do now? It seems impossible to go down the mountain, and I don't know what will happen if I stay here. ”

Qi Chu said calmly: "It is possible that you are right." ”

"Ahh

"Damn, what are you shouting? I'm scared to death. Lan Ting reproached

"I'm scared and don't let people scream! ”

It seems that this sacrifice is not simple. Qi Chu said

Lan Ting asked, "Does this have anything to do with him?"

Qi Chu said: "If my guess is correct, this mountain should be sealed." ”

"Is he alone?"

Qi Chu nodded and said: "This is the long-lost mountain sealing array, if it is really the method he did, then I really underestimated him." ”

"Is the Mountain Sealing Array powerful?" Lan Ting asked

"Legend has it that there is a formation that can not only close the mountain, but also have ghosts and ghosts to kill people at night when the mountain is sealed. But this has been lost for a long time, and this kid is not a few years older than you, how could he?" Qi Chu pondered.

"Is there any way to crack it?" Shi Ziyu asked

"I just heard that once you enter the Great Array of Sealed Mountains, you can only get out alive if you find the door of life. Otherwise, you will be trapped in the formation forever. ”

Shi Ziyu said: "Even if it's dawn, you can't get out?"

Qi Chu said: "We are now in the formation, and all this is an illusion in front of us. Even if the sun comes out, the illusion will not be extinguished. ”

Lan Ting said: "Phantom? Childe said that none of this is true?"

"Yes" Qi Chu said in his heart: This matter is getting more and more complicated, what is the purpose of Sheling using the Mountain Sealing Array to trap me?

At this moment, the fog thickened, and the mountain wind actually stopped. The three of them were not far away, but the fog was thick like a wall, and the three of them were separated in a moment. Among the three of them, only Qi Chu had seen a lot, and he was not shocked at the moment, and said in his heart: This dense fog must be an illusion. At the moment, sit cross-legged, run internal strength, and emit a faint green light around your body to keep your mind.

But he didn't know that this was not an ordinary illusion, but the Gu Mind Technique in the Six Techniques of Nanzhao, which could charm people's minds and make people think of the most painful things in their lives when their spirits were the weakest.

Shering was defeated by Qi Chu in the cave and deliberately challenged him with Gu Mind Technique. However, Shering couldn't have imagined that Qi Chu had experienced too much in his life, and he had already cultivated a firm mind, and the Gu Heart Technique had no effect on him at all. On the contrary, Lan Ting and Shi Ziyu are still young, and when they encounter such a domineering Gu Heart Technique, they don't know if they can survive it.

At this time, Lan Ting was already covered in fog and breathless, his forehead was sweating profusely, he felt soaked all over, and the white world in front of him was in it, and his mind was heavy and his heart was numb. The white mist sucked all his strength as if it had magical power, and Lan Ting couldn't support it and knelt on the ground gasping for breath, when he suddenly felt a rumble in his ears, and the scene changed in front of him.

When he was a child, his father took him to live alone, and from childhood to adulthood, he watched other people's children have new clothes made by their mothers, and they made delicious food during the New Year. Although his father was a cook, his family was so poor that he sometimes couldn't even eat.

In Lan Ting's memory, when he was five years old, he saw the neighbor's children eating pears, and he also wanted to eat them, but the family really had no money, so his father had to use white radishes as pears to deceive him, radishes are spicy, pears are sweet, how could he not know, but he still had to pretend to be delicious, and he ate happily in front of his father, but he hid in the bed at night and cried secretly.

He hadn't even eaten meat before following Qi Chu, he grew up smelling the smell of meat cooked by his neighbors, and once upon a time, he wanted to eat a piece of meat. Once, he was so greedy that he saw a wild dog on the side of the road holding a meat bone in his mouth, and he actually went up to grab the meat and bone of the wild dog, and the eight-year-old child actually beat the wild dog away, and finally he finally ate the meat after victory.

Since that time, he has understood that everything in life has to be fought for by himself. So he changed, and when he played with the children again, he wanted to be the leader, but the older children didn't agree, so he fought. Whoever didn't listen to him would beat him, and in the end no one dared to play with him. It wasn't until he met Qi Chu that Gongzi taught him peace, taught him how to love himself and others, and told him to respect others first before he would be respected by others.

After a long time, Lan Ting found that he had changed, no longer irritable, and no longer complaining. He still likes to joke, but he has come to love everyone around him. In the past, he followed Childe almost all day except sleeping, because this man shone on him like the sun.

But now, he was in this impenetrable white mist again, as if he had returned to the past. The love that had just gushed out of his heart dried up at once, and he saw his former self again, pitiful, humble, irritable, and timid as a mouse, it turned out that I had not become better, and everything was fake.

Lan Ting thought to himself, his eyes were blurred, the past of fourteen years came to his mind one by one, pretending to eat radishes with joy, frantically grabbing bones with wild dogs, strangling his partner's neck, everything was still there, he could no longer control the fear and anger in his heart, he shouted, tried all his strength to break free, but at the moment he stood up, his heart was broken, all his thoughts were lost, he fell to the ground, and passed out.

Qi Chu was meditating cross-legged while thinking about how to crack the illusion, when he suddenly heard Lan Ting's cry, and knew that something was wrong, and at this moment he felt someone attacking from behind.

Qi Chu didn't look back, and his right hand grabbed back and it was actually a dagger. only heard a "click", the dagger broke, and Qi Chu immediately slapped it out, and he heard Shi Ziyu's scream.

The attacker was Shi Ziyu, she was alone in the white mist and was in pain, she took out the dagger to protect herself, and when she heard Lan Ting shouting, she was scared in her heart, and she stabbed the dagger indiscriminately, not wanting to be Qi Chu in front of her. Qi Chu's palm hit her heart, although it was not heavy, she spit out a mouthful of blood, who knew that this white mist would disappear when it met blood, and it disappeared in a moment.

Qi Chu saw Lan Ting lying unconscious on the ground, and picked him up to see that his snort was still there, but his pulse was disordered, and he knew that he must have been confused by illusion. Seeing that Shi Ziyu was wiping the blood on his mouth, he sneered: "Miss Shi, have you played enough?"

Shi Ziyu looked at Qi Chu blankly, "What did you say?"

Qi Chu snorted: "It's time for the show to end." ”

Shi Ziyu said: "I don't understand, I have something to say." ”

Qi Chu said coldly: "Ever since you and the other three wanted to assassinate me, I had some doubts about you. Later, after you told your family background and your brother's kidnapping, I thought you should be the real Shi Ziyu. But when you led us to the enemy's lair, the mountain road was so rugged and hard to find, isn't it strange that you didn't make a mistake once? And just after entering the cave, you and Lan Ting were caught touching the mechanism, do you dare to say that you didn't mean to? When Lan Ting was resting in the cave just now, Lan Ting secretly told me that when I was fighting against Shering, you were extremely concerned about Shering's safety, how do you explain why you care about an enemy who captured your brother. Lan Ting deliberately said that he wanted to rest for a while and then hurry just to try you, if your brother's life and death are unknown, do you still have the heart to rest in the stone room for an hour? Also, Lan Ting was fascinated by illusion, and you still have the strength to assassinate me, if that trick just now had been changed to someone else, I am afraid that I would have already gone to see Lord Yama. What else do you have to say?"

Shi Ziyu sneered: "So I'm a traitor? The Streamer can't catch the bad guys, and he can't protect his followers, is he afraid that he will ruin his reputation by spreading to the rivers and lakes, so he wants to frame me and blame me?"

Qi Chu is thoughtful, and he has been observing what she says and deeds since he met Shi Ziyu, and he feels a little strange. But now he doesn't have murderous intentions, he doesn't like to kill, and he doesn't like to kill women.

Shi Ziyu said again: "If I say that I can find the right way at the first time because I deliberately left a mark when I came, do you believe it or not?"

"Go on. Qi Chu hugged Lan Ting, and at this time, his mind was racing, and while introducing true qi to Lan Ting, he was thinking about what had happened.

Shi Ziyu said: "I did touch the mechanism by mistake when I entered the cave, I have nothing to say." The reason why I am worried about Shering is that I am afraid that when he dies, no one will know my brother's whereabouts. I didn't leave in a hurry in the stone room, in fact, it was also deliberate, I want to see if you really save my brother. Now it doesn't seem to be at all! You just doubt your partner and make yourself comfortable with what you haven't done well. ”

Qi Chu said: "How do you explain that you were not fascinated by illusion, but assassinated me?"

Shi Ziyu said: "That's because my martial arts are higher than this kid's, and my concentration is good." But when I heard him shouting, I thought something was wrong, took out my dagger and stabbed it, who knew that you happened to be in front of me. ”

Qi Chu smiled: "The explanation is very good. But how can you say that since Sherin has captured you and asked you to kill me, what if you run away halfway? The only explanation is that he trusts you!"

Shi Ziyu said: "You are talking nonsense! All this is your speculation, and it is not valid at all!"

Qi Chu said: "Even if it's a guess, then how can you prove that you are the real Shi Ziyu." ”

Shi Ziyu was stunned by the question, she bit her silver teeth, "You forced me!" Then she turned around and took off her shirt with her back to Qi Chu.

The moonlight is like water, her long hair is floating, her skin is as white as snow, and she is slightly shy at this time. The fair skin is slightly pink, and the beauty is suffocating.

"See for yourself!"

Qi Chu clearly saw a sword-shaped tattoo on her right shoulder, and the Shi family was famous for its swords. Therefore, Shi Youfei made a rule that all heirs of the Shi family must tattoo the passing water sword representing the honor of the Shi family on their shoulders after birth, male left and female right, and now this rule has been passed down for three generations.

"Put it on, count me too much. ”

Shi Ziyu put on her clothes and came back to her senses, there were already tears of grievance in her eyes, she had been pampered since she was a child, she was already a captivating city at the age of seventeen, where had she been humiliated like this, she wanted to cut Qi Chu with a thousand knives in her heart, but she knew that her martial arts were invincible, so she had to swallow this evil breath.
