Chapter 85: Twists and Turns

The carriage was repaired, the bags were packed, and it was already dark again.

As Zi Ning said, Lingzhi's condition is getting worse and worse, originally he was just stupidly obeying the instructions of outsiders, and his body is fine. But as time went on, she spent more and more time stupid, sometimes even deaf to instructions. It is often accompanied by additional symptoms such as syncope and heart disturbances.

With this in mind, Tuchen decided not to rest, but to light a few more torches and hurried out overnight, trying to get out of the forest before dawn. Although Zi Ning said that she had her own things to do, she never said what she wanted to do, and silently followed the four of them to set off together.

The jungle at night was not quiet, and there were constant strange sounds of insects along the way, Mao Hu walked in front and led the horses to move forward slowly, Tuchen and Mo Erha followed on both sides, and Zi Ning and Lingzhi sat in the car.

Although the view was obstructed and the road conditions were very poor, with Maohu's many years of experience in walking rivers and lakes, trekking through mountains and rivers, the road was quite smooth, and the speed of travel was almost the same as during the day.

Shuttling among the towering ancient trees, the lush foliage completely obscured the starry sky and the moonlight in the sky, and the lighting equipment of the group was only six torches.

After walking for more than two hours in one breath, Mao Hu put away the wine gourd, took out the sheepskin map from his arms and nodded: "The route is right, at this speed, we can leave the forest in the second half of the night to find a place to sleep." It's a pity that Grandpa Mao's wine gourd is about to bottom out, so I have to save some water next......"

Mo Erha sat on the side of the carriage and asked quietly: "Tuchen, what exactly did we encounter yesterday, why did you come back with Miss Zining?"

Tuchen simply talked about the things before and after meeting Yue Po Sa, Mo Erha nodded after hearing this, thinking about what happened during the day and sighed softly: "This Yue Po is really hateful, what kind of immortal scatter can make the second master miserable, it was very embarrassing last time in the inn, and this time it ...... Alas......"

Tuchen reluctantly smiled, but he had been worried about Lingzhi's situation in his heart, he didn't know if Lingzhi's body could persist in reaching Miao Jiang, and he didn't know if those Miao people who were in cahoots with the Lin family were willing to come to the rescue, and whether they were worth believing......

While he was pondering, a sharp birdsong suddenly broke through the night sky, as if a huge giant bird was flying overhead. Accompanied by a piercing cry, a wave of air also swept in from afar, knocking those century-old trees to the ground.

Mao Hu stopped, stretched out his nose and sniffed the air, his face changed suddenly, and he extinguished all six torches at a very fast speed, signaling everyone to keep silent.

Tuchen also frowned, because he sensed that there was a trace of demonic energy faintly mixed in this powerful qi wave, although the demonic qi was small but inextricably linked, and the subtlety revealed that it was powerful and unpredictable.

"Brother Mao, what's going on, it seems to be ...... There is a demonic aura!?" In the darkness, Mo Erha's voice sounded in the carriage.

Mao Hu in front of the carriage 'shhhhh......h This is a demon above the orange spirit!"

The strength of the orange spirit lizard that everyone had experienced before, it almost turned the Great Barren Mountain upside down, and slaughtered countless creatures. If the strength of the source of this cry is actually above the orange spirit, one can imagine how destructive it will be. The three of them stopped outside the carriage and held their breath, quietly waiting for what was going to happen next......

At the same time, Zi Ning, who was sitting inside the carriage, immediately turned heavy after hearing the cry, she looked at the Lingzhi beside her for a pause, and then turned into a wisp of purple mist and curled away......

Black fog billowed above the trees, and a large dark cloud obscured the moon and shrouded the land in darkness. Above the dark clouds, hovering this giant eagle, on the back of which stood a young man. The young man had a clear red face and a shawl, and he looked very elegant, but his pupils flashed with a surging aura.

In a moment, the purple mist recondensed on the back of the giant eagle through the dark clouds, and Zi Ning's figure appeared in front of the young man, she knelt on one knee with a trace of messiness in her eyes: "Yejun, why are you here?"

"What? can't I come?" the young man stared at Zi Ning, his eyes became sharper: "Do you think that if I don't come, I don't know what is happening in the outside world?"

Zi Ning lowered her head: "The subordinates don't dare!"

The young man waved his sleeves slightly, and the dark clouds under his feet suddenly spread a gap with the branches and leaves of the dense forest, and a carriage and three shadow figures appeared in the gap.

"That's Tuchen, the former Demon Realm General?"

Zi Ning frowned: "This person is also called Tu Chen, but he has lost his memory, and he generally has no demon mark on his body." His subordinates are secretly investigating, but his true identity has not yet been determined, so I ......"

Halfway through his words, Demon Ye's face suddenly changed, and he raised his hand to grab it and locked Zi Ning's throat: "It hasn't been determined yet? His body has a disordered aura, and there is an unknown power in his body, which is absolutely extraordinary! I will never forget this disordered aura, and there will be absolutely no mistake! Are you hiding something from me!?"

Zi Ning's whole person hung in the air, panting with her mouth open and responding intermittently: "Subordinate...... The subordinates didn't dare, but there was no demon spirit in Tuchen's body, and his subordinates were ...... Can't do anything ......"

Demon Night let go of Zi Ning, stared at Tu Chen on the carriage through the clouds for a moment, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "It's not that there is nothing, but it is not complete." From today onwards, until the Red Spirit recovers, you will do your best to protect him. But before I do that, I want you to do something else for me......"

In the woods, three people were staring nervously around, and another cry sounded overhead. The dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the moonlight sprinkled again among the leaves. Mao Hu also breathed a sigh of relief and re-lit the torch: "It seems that this is just a passing by, but the orange spirit just appeared a few days ago, and in less than two months, a more powerful one has appeared, and it seems that the demon clan is ready to move again......"

Mo Erha also sighed: "Speaking of that orange spirit, I don't know if it was subdued by the valley master, have you two heard any news along the way?"

Tuchen said lightly, 'No', still thinking about the sudden wave of qi just now, and the wisps of demonic energy contained in that wave of qi also felt very familiar, and that feeling was like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

As the three of them spoke, purple smoke drifted back from the darkness, and Zi Ning appeared inside the carriage with a heavy face.

As soon as she sat down, Tuchen lifted the curtain: "Are you all right?"

Zi Ning shook her head slightly: "It's okay, we shouldn't be far from the outside of the forest, let's keep walking." ”

The strong wave of qi before frightened the beasts in the forest to flee in a hurry, and although the wave of qi had passed at this time, the beasts and insects had also fled far away, and the surroundings became dead silent.

After another half an hour of walking according to the route indicated on the map, the surrounding trees began to gradually thin, and some traces of human activity appeared on the ground.

In the early morning, when the east was white, several people drove out of the woods and stopped at the entrance to a ravine.

Mao Hu squinted his eyes and looked around, raised his hand and pointed straight ahead: "After this canyon, there is a deserted village at the end, where can we go to rest for a while, if the map is correct, then the next two days will be a flat river, and our tense nerves can be relaxed." ”

Leaving the jungle, the road was relatively flat, and there was no need to lead the horse forward, and Mao Hu also sat back in the car and held the reins to speed up.

Mo Erha took out the purple handkerchief from his arms, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to turn over and get into the carriage, and raised his hand to Zi Ning: "Miss Zi Ning, I have a handkerchief here...... Ang is no, it's a handkerchief. That one...... I can't use it, so I'll give it to you......"

Mao Hu couldn't help but snicker after listening outside the car through the curtain, and stuck out his tongue at Tuchen: "Grandpa Mao has grown so big, and it's the first time I've heard that I used this reason to give a girl something...... 'I can't use it', hahaha......"

Zi Ning's face was expressionless, she looked at the handkerchief handed over by Mo Erha for a second, and gently took it in her hand: "Thank you." After speaking, he got up and went out and asked Mao Hu to stop the carriage: "I'm leaving, there is still a long way to go to Miaojiang, be careful on the road." ”

Mao Hu's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at Mo Erha, who was still sitting in the car stupidly: "What happened to me Brother Erha, why did you 'send' people away directly with this handkerchief?"

Mo Erha also looked dazed, and rushed out for a moment to stop Zi Ning: "Miss Zi Ning, if you don't like the handkerchief, I won't give it away, why do you have to leave......

Zi Ning looked at the handkerchief in her hand and smiled faintly: "I said, I have my own things, the handkerchief is very beautiful, and I like it too." ”

Tuchen knew that Zi Ning had his own things to deal with, so he didn't hold back, sighed and whispered: "No matter what you do, be careful in everything!"

"We'll meet again. ”

Leaving this sentence, Zi Ning disappeared from the sight of several people along a path on the side of the canyon, Mo Erha stretched his neck and was still looking, Mao Hu shook his head helplessly, and whipped on the horse's buttocks: "Don't look at it, it's long gone, didn't people say it, you will see you again......"

Although Zi Ning left again, this time Mo Erha's beautiful face bloomed, I don't know if it was because Zi Ning accepted his gift, or because of the promise of 'we will see you again if we are fated'.

The canyon floor was covered with gravel of varying sizes tumbling from the top, and the carriage was wobbly but steady as it went.

After a short gallop, the four of them quickly crossed the canyon.

At the end of the canyon is a steep hill with a small mountain village looming below.

Mao Hu nodded with satisfaction: "The front is the deserted village mentioned on the map, let's rest there for a while, avoid the noon sun, and then continue to hurry in the afternoon." ”

"Let's do it, but before I can do that, I'll have to solve my personal problems, you wait for me. With that, Mo Erha walked to a bush behind the carriage and untied his belt.

Tuchen and Mao Hu glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and then took out the water bag and let Lingzhi drink water.

In the face of outsiders' instructions, the more complicated Lingzhi no longer carries it out, and more often sits in a daze, unresponsive to everything.

Tuchen said 'drink water' several times in a row, and she slowly opened her mouth, but before she could finish drinking a mouthful of water, there was a sudden muffled sound of 'Peng' outside the car. Then I saw Mo Erha running back shouting while lifting his pants: "Quick, run, the wolf is coming, the wolf is coming!"
