"Even so, Mr. Xie still prefers to believe that legend!" Princess Anyang can tell from Xie Yunxiao's last words.
Xie Yunxiao did not deny it, "Maybe!"
He has already been to the Five Great Places of Death, Mingshan Mountain and Black Forest, so he naturally knows that this is not an ordinary place.
The wind blew, and a few strands of hair on Xie Yunxiao's forehead moved with the wind. At this time, the solemn look in his eyes became much stronger.
The deeper he went, the inexplicable uneasiness in Xie Yunxiao's heart became stronger.
At this time, their boat had arrived at the place where the lake narrowed. The river here was very fast. Standing on the boat, you could hear the sound of flowing water.
"Did you hear anything?" Princess Anyang suddenly asked.
When Shang Ping heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He listened carefully. In the distance, something seemed to be wailing, and there was an indescribable sadness in it.
"Your Highness, do you know what this sound is?" Shang Ping asked.
Princess Anyang shook her head, thought for a moment, and then looked at Xie Yunxiao, "I wonder what Mr. Xie thinks?"
Xie Yunxiao said: "This sound came from the front. Our ship continues to move forward. Sooner or later, we will see the thing making the sound!"
After everyone heard this, they all nodded secretly.
Because the ship is traveling against the current, the speed is not very fast.
That weird whine, intermittent, always there.
As the ship moved forward, the sound became louder and louder.
The inexplicable sadness released became more and more intense, and seemed to affect people's mood.
In Xie Yunxiao's sea of consciousness, the Nirvana Cauldron glowed faintly, dissolving the invisible power that could affect people's minds.
But Princess Anyang and others did not have this ability, so each of them had a look of sadness on their faces. Princess Anyang, Qu Fei, and Shang Ping all had tears on their faces and red eyes.
The same goes for the rest of the Chu soldiers.
The sharp light in Xie Yunxiao's eyes became stronger and stronger. He looked ahead, and the strange chirping sound was much stronger than before.
This sound is like the call of a cuckoo, but it is filled with human emotions, revealing indescribable sadness and can affect people's minds.
Xie Yunxiao can be sure that this sense of sadness did not appear for no reason.
Although everyone could not suppress the sadness and desolation in their hearts and their faces were filled with tears, they were still awake.
The ship continued to move forward, but Shang Ping and Qu Fei had panic in their eyes.
"Your Highness, we can't move on!" Shang Ping shouted loudly. He couldn't control himself, tears couldn't help flowing out, and his eyes were red.
Princess Anyang's condition at this time is even more serious than Shang Ping's.
This is understandable. Although Princess Anyang was born in the royal family of the Chu Kingdom and is a princess respected by thousands of people, her destiny is not under her control.
How sad it is to become a pawn in the alliance with Zhao State now.
It is precisely because of this that the sadness hidden in Princess Anyang's heart cannot be understood by outsiders.
At this time, I was affected by the sound of the cuckoo singing, and I couldn't control it.
Princess Anyang looked ahead. There was a cliff with water flowing from below, and the sound of rushing was very loud.
The cliff is like a long knife standing in the water, giving off an intimidating momentum.
That chirping sound came from the cliff.
At this time, they were less than six or seven miles away from the cliff.
If she didn't go and take a look, how could Princess Anyang leave willingly?
At this time, Princess Anyang finally discovered that when everyone was crying, only Xie Yunxiao remained calm and composed, as if the strange power had no way of affecting him.
"Mr. Xie is really smart!" Princess Anyang said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "If the princess wants to leave, you can turn the ship around!"
Princess Anyang was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Xie? Are you going to leave?"
"Now that you're here, you have to see clearly what's causing trouble!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Princess Anyang said: "Sir, if you don't want to leave, then of course I won't leave. After all, you don't have a boat!"
Xie Yunxiao smiled indifferently. He didn't say anything more, just looked ahead quietly.
At this time, the moon has climbed up to the sky, and the moonlight shines through the mist on the mountains and on the water, giving off a faint and inexplicable aura.
"Your Highness, Wei Chen feels that we really can't move forward any further!" Qu Fei said.
Shang Ping looked solemn and nodded repeatedly, "Your Highness, think twice!"
The two of them shed tears while talking, which looked very funny.
Princess Anyang's tears couldn't help flowing from her eyes. She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
But the sadness came from the heart, the sadness came from the buttocks, and she couldn't control it at all. She was not only crying, but also had a runny nose. She looked as unsightly as she could.
But all this is not under the control of Princess Anyang at all.
"I have made a decision, no need to say anything more!" Although Princess Anyang looked sad, shedding tears and having a runny nose, she only had the majesty of a king.
Neither Shang Ping nor Qu Fei dared to say anything at this time.
After the ship went some distance ahead, Xie Yunxiao saw a tree growing out of the crack on the cliff, with its branches extending out and hanging above the water flow.
On the branch stood a bird, an ordinary cuckoo.
The cry that can bring people sad emotions comes from this cuckoo bird.
"Your Highness, wait for me to shoot down this cuckoo bird!" Qu Fei is a lieutenant in the army. This time he entered Mengze and brought his bow and arrow with him.
At this moment, some soldiers had already brought their bows and arrows, waiting for Princess Anyang's order.
Princess Anyang looked at Xie Yunxiao and asked, "Sir, do you have any other ideas?"
Xie Yunxiao shook his head, "Not yet!"
Princess Anyang collected her thoughts, her tear-filled eyes glowed with an indescribable fierce light, and then she said: "Then shoot down this weird cuckoo!"
After receiving the order, Qu Fei gathered his thoughts and looked solemn. He drew his bow and arrow. He must shoot down this strange cuckoo bird tonight.
The sound of the bowstring spread, and the arrows shot out like meteors, targeting the cuckoo bird standing on the branch.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the cuckoo bird.
But at this time, something strange happened.
The bow and arrow shot by Qu Fei, still about half a foot away from the cuckoo bird, shattered into powder and scattered with the wind, while the intermittent calls from the cuckoo still echoed in the void.
A gust of cool wind blew, and everyone felt an inexplicable coolness. Maybe it was not because of the cold wind, but because of the indescribable coolness in their hearts.
Qu Fei swallowed his saliva and felt his mouth dry for a while. His mouth moved slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
Shang Ping was even better. He looked very solemn and said: "Your Highness, in this situation, we'd better leave as soon as possible!"
"It seems you don't take my words to heart!" Princess Anyang's majestic voice sounded. Shang Ping's heart trembled violently and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Xie Yunxiao ignored everything on the boat. He kept staring at the cuckoo bird.
The moment the arrow was shot, Xie Yunxiao clearly felt that the trees growing from the gap in the cliff swayed with an invisible force and shattered the flying arrow.
The trees stretching out from the cliff are not ordinary trees, and the cuckoo is not a cuckoo.
Xie Yunxiao's eyes became extremely sharp and curious at the same time. He wanted to know what secrets were hidden here.
The ship continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to the cuckoo. At this time, Xie Yunxiao and the others discovered that every time the cuckoo bird screamed, blood would flow down from its mouth.
Although the water flow is very fast, you can see that there is still a faint red color on the surface of the water, and the smell of blood is so strong that it is indescribable.
At this moment, Xie Yunxiao thought of the corpse in the reed field not long ago. The smell of blood is so similar.
Maybe the man's body was bitten like that by the big black snake, but he had definitely been under this cliff.
In other words, the fishing boats used by Wu Laoer, Liu Sanhu and others have penetrated deep into the land of Mengze.
But Xie Yunxiao knew that even if they came in to fish, ordinary people like them would not be able to go deep. The lake outside was an ideal place for fishing.
"There must be something wrong with Wu Laoer. If he arranged all this, why did he send the body out?" Xie Yunxiao's thoughts quickly changed.
At this time, Qu Fei drew his bow and arrow again. He looked at the cuckoo on the branch and said, "I don't believe I can't shoot down this weird cuckoo!"
The arrow left the string and flew through the air. In just a moment, the arrow was shattered again.
Now, their ship has stopped. Looking at the cuckoo on the branch not far away, everyone's eyes are more or less frightened.
Xie Yunxiao watched everything in front of him quietly, and the power from Zhiya shattered the arrow again.
What kind of tree is this? What secret does that cuckoo bird hide? If Wu Laoer, the fisherman, is still alive today, where is he?
While thinking about it, Xie Yunxiao finally moved his eyes away from the cuckoo bird. He looked not far away, where the mountains were slightly gentler and the ship could be safely ashore.
"Are you really watching everything here? But what is your goal?"
Xie Yunxiao whispered to himself. At this moment, a strong wind blew and the ship shook a few times.
"Sir, what did you say?" Princess Anyang asked.
Xie Yunxiao said: "The number of people who came in with Wu Laoer to fish yesterday was thirteen in total, right?"
He remembered that there were only five or six people drinking in the inn. Obviously, Wu Laoer used his clever words to influence the greed of Liu Sanhu and others, and deceived several more people.
Now, only Huang Daniu's body has been sent out, and there is also a mutilated body that fell in the reed field.
"What's inside the reed field may be just an accident, but what's outside is definitely not. If this accident is just to allow those who come in to move on, then..." Xie Yunxiao's eyes returned to this place again. On a cuckoo bird.
Vaguely, Xie Yunxiao seemed to understand some voices: "Go back, go back quickly, it's dangerous..."
"Go back? Danger?" Xie Yunxiao's heart trembled violently. Where are you going back to?
Princess Anyang and others were stunned when they heard this, and then a chill ran down their backs, and it was difficult to keep their minds calm for a while.
