Chapter Ninety-Two: Tracking
In the secret passage of Kwai Garden, Bai Lang and He Zhongyi helped the unconscious Lin Muyao into the carriage, and Yu Hanyan and Mu Chengxue also sat in. There were only three female dependents left in the carriage, and Qin Yan acted as the coachman at the front.
The secret passage was dark, and the not spacious passage meandered endlessly, not knowing where it would lead. Specially trained demon horses gallop with four hooves and can identify the road without the need for an envoy, and only such horses can run in the dark.
As I walked along the passage in the cave, I felt that the ground was getting higher and higher, and it seemed that it was about to go beyond the ground soon, and suddenly I turned down again. The road is winding and winding, and the forks in the middle are dense, chaotic and complicated. It is unimaginable that there would be such a huge structure underneath the Qing Weiju, and without the guidance of these demon horses, they might have been lost in this underground labyrinth. With such a complex terrain, there is no danger that the enemy will catch up.
There was silence all around, except for the sound of horses' hooves and rumbling wheels waving deep into the forks on both sides, as if they were about to drive into the depths of the netherworld.
In the darkness and silence, the speed of time passes is an illusion. I don't know how long it took, but I estimated that I ran forward for nearly a hundred miles, and the terrain rose again, and finally a bright light appeared in front of me. The demon horse leaped forward, smashing through the branches and leaves of the trunk, dragging the carriage into the blinding light.
After a few moments, the eyes gradually adjusted to the light, and the scene around them was revealed. Qin Yan found that there was a barren mountain area nearby, and the road was rugged and bumpy, extending down the terrain. Looking from the slope, there are several families at the foot of the mountain range in the distance, and the smoke rises from the cooking smoke, bringing a sense of stability and peace.
The road down the mountain leads to the other side of the mountain gorge, which is probably the more prosperous county seat. The demon horse kept on all fours, and ran down the mountain road.
Qin Yan looked back, He Zhongyi and Bai Lang had already followed from behind, only to see that the place where they came out was a deep cave, and the jungle branches and leaves that were originally used as a cover were knocked open by fast horses, and the situation inside was presented under the twilight sun. It may not be long before a woodcutter from the mountains discovers this place. However, if you want to find the secret path to the Qingwei dwelling from the thousands of forked roads, I am afraid that it is a difficult task to complete.
The demon horse galloped with hooves, and the carriage behind him jolted up and down in the rugged mountain road jutting out of the rocks, and the luxurious carriage clanged and the curtain trembled, as if it was about to fall apart. Not long after, when the demon horse crossed the three high slopes and ran to the village at the foot of the mountain, he heard a soft cry from the carriage, and Miss Lin Muyao finally woke up from such a violent bump.
"Yao'er ......"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. ”
After just two sentences, calm returned to the carriage. Qin Yan thought that Lin Muyao would make a big noise, at least cry bitterly, but he didn't expect her to be so well-behaved. Of course, such a quiet lady is an abnormal performance. It's better to cry than to hold back your grief...... Forget it, it's useless to talk about this kind of thing, so it's up to her to do it herself.
The sumptuous carriage drove into the village, and the villagers stopped curiously to watch. It had been a long time since such a rarity had been seen in the quiet cottage, and when the carriage passed by the fence, several children could not help but reach out and touch it, and were reprimanded and repelled by the adults. Until the carriage entered the narrow road between the mountains and gorges, they watched from afar, watching the carriage go away.
The simple villagers never imagined what kind of disaster this gorgeous and noble carriage would bring to them.
Passing through the mountain gorge, the road gradually widened, and the silhouettes of many blue-black houses appeared in the distance, as well as a denser cooking smoke, and the county town of Qiujin was in front of it. According to Lin Ge Lao, if you go further south, you can enter Fuhu Mountain, and then go all the way to the west, you can return to Jiulong Peak. And the place where Qin Yan planned to part with them in his heart was in Fuhu Mountain......
"Stop!" A sudden shout from inside the carriage interrupted Qin Yan's train of thought. He pulled the reins to stop the carriage on the side of the road, and turned back and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Let's get rid of the tail first, and then let's make the next move. Yu Hanyan lifted the curtain, stepped out of the carriage, turned around and looked at the mountains behind the village, with a cold look in his eyes, and shouted in a condensed voice, "After following us for so long, you should come out to see us!"
Qin Yan followed her gaze, but only saw a barren mountain, and there was no vision in the lush hills. He looked at Yu Hanyan suspiciously, did she find something?
He Zhongyi and Bai Lang were unhurriedly following dozens of steps behind the carriage, but they were suddenly drunk by Yu Hanyan, and they couldn't help but stop in amazement, glanced at each other, and hesitated: "Jade Fairy, we ......"
Yu Hanyan's gaze indifferently crossed over them, projecting all the way to the depths of the distant mountains and jungles, and said, "Come here." Your guest is coming to the door, and do not stand in her way, lest you lose your lives in vain. ”
He Zhongyi and Bai Lang's faces changed suddenly, and they hurriedly rushed to the carriage.
Looking back, the barren mountains under the twilight only showed blue and black outlines, like a giant beast crouching quietly, although there was no change in the slightest, but there was an unknown killing opportunity lurking.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the barren mountains. Qin Yan opened his mouth and said, "Senior sister, you can't be mistaken, right?"
Yu Hanyan shook his head and spoke again: "The fairy hides his head and tail like this, but he disappoints my family."
As the cold words spread in all directions, there was finally movement on the hillside in the distance. The light on the originally empty hillside suddenly distorted slightly, like ripples in the water of a lake, and the scene solidified again after a momentary blur, and there was already a white-clothed beauty. The man was masked with a light veil, wearing a white shirt fluttering in the evening breeze, and tens of thousands of butterflies gathered and flew around him, like a cloud of smoke, it was a butterfly dream.
Qin Yan was amazed. Isn't Die Shumeng supposed to be on the battlefield where the good and evil factions are fighting, when did he follow his group? Fortunately, Senior Sister Yu has a keen sense ...... But how did she notice it?
Die Shumeng raised his steps lightly, walked in style, seemingly elegant and calm, but in fact the speed was extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, he came to the front of the carriage, stopped more than ten steps away from Yu Hanyan, stared at it with deep eyes, and said slowly: "How did you find me?"
"The smell of so many butterflies is really evident in this barren mountain range. ”
"Smell?" Dieshu's eyes flashed, staring at it, and then nodded slightly, "Actually, it's a soul thought! Your dream illusion technique is very sensitive to changes in mental power, and it is indeed the nemesis of beast control art." If I had known that, I shouldn't have summoned them in advance. ”
Yu Hanyan smiled faintly: "Since you are willing to show up now, you must be sure." Is it a helper, or is there another plan?
"You'll find out in a moment. ”
