They couldn't find Mu Wan.
Being in a strange place, and with the morning mist lingering before, it was indeed easy to lose our way. This is good, Shi Wuqi hasn't come back yet, and another one is missing. The four of them searched in the direction that Mu Wan had left. It was always cool in the valley, and even though the sun was shining brightly, they didn't feel very hot. But my heart is anxious and I can't help but sweat on my head. The Ye brothers and sisters had been shouting "Miss Liangqiu" all the way, and now they almost coughed up half their lives.
"I don't think we can find it this way..." Ye Linxi handed the kettle he took out to Zi Xu, "How about another way?"
Shan Hai sighed: "Of course I know. If you have Mu Wan's belongings and do a little divination, you can at least know the general direction. But... we don't."
A few people stood awkwardly under the shade of the tree with their eyes wide open.
"How about... they say you can see far if you stand high. If we climb up, we might be able to see Miss Liangqiu."
Zhixu drank the water and pointed to the cliff not far away. The cliffs are really steep and daunting. The cliff here already seemed very high. When they walked down, they were about halfway up the mountain and the terrain was very gentle. Here, the cliff becomes very steep and almost impossible to climb.
Lin Shanhai felt that what she said made sense, but he didn't dare to act rashly. After all, no matter how good his Qinggong is, he can't stay in unfamiliar and dangerous terrain everywhere. Dai Luan thought it was a solution. She looked around, pointed to a thin ravine on the cliff in the distance, and said:
"I think it's possible to walk there, like a road."
Like a road, but not a road.
They walked down the so-called "road" and the terrain was indeed slightly better, but only slightly. It's a road, but it's just a crack on the cliff. The cracks have spread, the jagged sections have been washed smooth by rain, and are overgrown with tough weeds. The entire road is only wide enough to accommodate one person.
Ye Linxi was reluctant at first. He shook his head repeatedly and did not think this was a good idea. He himself was not afraid, he was worried about the safety of others, especially his sister. But no one listened to him right now.
"It's okay over there." Ye Zixu pointed to a relatively spacious stone platform, "Maybe you can see it from there."
Shan Hai nodded, Ye Linxi's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he quickly interrupted:
"There are trees everywhere here, blocking the road completely. How can I see a woman?"
"Why are you like this?" Ye Zixu finally answered him, "They picked up my wallet, and as you know these days, they are obviously a group of good people. It's a good thing for you to only think about your own safety!"
When she said this, Ye Linxi became a little anxious: "I'm not doing this for your own good! It's still early, wouldn't it be more appropriate for us to look for her before she goes too far? Why do we have to go to that dangerous place? , both you and them - especially Miss Aluan, let alone falling, even getting scratched will be serious!"
Ah Luan was speechless and looked at Ye Linxi with the expression of looking at the eldest young master of a boudoir. Ye Zixu stopped talking and stretched out his hand to grab the weeds on the path and climbed up. Shanhai originally wanted the three of them to rest down there. It was enough for him to go alone, but looking at this attitude, he couldn't defeat Miss Ye. But to be honest, he didn't worry about Aluan. This kid was jumping up and down all day long in Dailuan City. When he occasionally collected herbs with him, he was much more experienced than him. It is said that they were trained by fighting with the guards every day. I don’t know what kind of guards they are - are they from the treasury?
A Luan immediately climbed after Miss Ye, and Shan Hai followed closely for the safety of the girls. Ye Linxi stood below for a short while, with ever-changing expressions, as if there was something unsaid but couldn't put it into words. After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally plucked up the courage and squeezed his body into the narrow path. It's just a pity that the expensive fabric and the custom-made pattern may be scratched. The leader and the one at the back both had swords on their waists. From time to time, the scabbards made a muffled sound when they hit the weeds, or made a crisp sound when they hit the stone wall. Ye Linxi was naturally distressed, but he was more worried about the safety of the people in front of him.
They walked for a long time, unable to rest when they stopped, so they had no choice but to continue walking. They chose their own path, and they still have to bear this small grievance. Ms. Ye, who started the climb, seemed to have already planned to climb the dangerous project, and she seemed very excited. Unfortunately, her brother only turned back tentatively at the end and almost vomited.
The four people finally squeezed onto the small platform on the cliff side safely.
As Mr. Ye said, there is really nothing to see. It's still summer, and the dense canopy of trees stretches as far as the eye can see. Every road is very small and broken, like slender spider threads scattered throughout it.
Ye Zixu put both hands to his mouth and shouted loudly:
"Miss Liangqiu - Liangqiu Mu Wan - Mu Wan -!"
The other three people could feel that she was trying her best to make a loud voice, but her voice was not suitable for shouting, and she could not shout loudly no matter how noisy she was. Ye Linxi and Dai Luan were also shouting at the top of their lungs, but although this was a valley, the gaps between the mountains were far away. Without any echo from the other side, their voices were lost in the boundless woods.
"Aluan, don't get too close to the edge!"
Shanhai scolded softly and glanced at the scene in front of him again. Although he had expected the result of getting nothing, he still felt regretful. What's more, another reason why Shanhai agreed to climb up was to find some clues to determine Gaoyue-kun's range. But although the scenery was beautiful, it failed to give him any valuable information. Thinking about the two missing friends, he felt even more headache.
She shouldn't have been allowed to go alone. Why didn't he use his brain to think more? If you are unfamiliar with the place, you will be in big trouble if you encounter danger.
"Go down." Ye Linxi shook his head.
Suddenly, Dai Luan pointed to a place under the stone platform: "Hey, look, there are flowers there."
Ye Zixu moved closer and saw where she was pointing. There is indeed a cluster of flowers there, three or four gathered together, which is a very exaggerated and eye-catching blue. Their petals curve upward, creating a round arc, which really looks like a small bowl.
"I'll pick it up."
As she spoke, she took two steps forward.
"Wait a minute, Sister Xu, it's me..."
late.
Shan Hai reacted the fastest. He grabbed Ye Zixu's sleeves, but was a beat too slow. She stepped onto the empty soil at the edge, stepped on the air, and fell from the edge of the cliff. With a harsh tearing sound, a piece of golden cloth appeared in Shan Hai's hand.
It's over.
It happened so suddenly that everyone had cold sweat on their foreheads. Ye Linxi was stunned for only a moment, and immediately rushed forward, but was stopped by both master and apprentice. Immediately afterwards, Shanhai pushed the two of them inward and jumped down. He was accustomed to the cold air slashing across his face like a knife, and his eyes were fixed on Miss Ye who was screaming loudly. As he was falling, his toes would touch the cliff like a dragonfly from time to time, and he would continue to use force, trying to get closer to Miss Ye.
He grabbed the person for a while, then used force on his legs to push both of them towards the nearest tree... hoping that its wood would be softer so that they wouldn't get scratched. Especially use your hands to protect the back of Miss Ye’s head...
He was calculating in his mind, staring at the target intently.
In an instant, a black shadow flashed past, and Miss Ye disappeared.
Daoist priest Lin panicked for a moment, failed to adjust his movements, and his cheek was scratched by a branch sticking out of the stone wall.
Talking about the top, Ye Linxi tightly grasped the cloth that Shanhai had given him, and turned back in the direction he came from without saying a word. A Luan hurriedly caught up with him, but found that his speed was astonishingly fast. It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down, but he seemed to have carried all the obstacles on this road, accurately avoiding all the rocks, loose footholds, fragile grass... He was really too It was fast, and there was no hesitation in his pace. Even if he accidentally tripped, he immediately adjusted his body balance and continued running. The scabbard on his waist made a ping-pong-pong-pong sound on the stone wall, and Aluan was afraid that sparks would be generated. Several times, she almost couldn't catch up with him.
Finally returning to the ground, Ye Linxi looked around but couldn't find them. But at least he didn't see any corpses, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Just as his anxiety was about to emerge for the second time, two people walked out from the bushes not far away.
"Sequel sister!"
"Shan Hai! And... Wu Qi!"
A Luan was sure that he had read it correctly.
Shi Wuqi hugged Miss Ye sideways. She was trembling with fear, in a daze, and her eyes looked like something was wrong. But her survival instinct made her cling to Shi Wuqi, and she would not let go no matter how much Mr. Ye coaxed her.
Shanhai wiped the place where the paint was hung, and it hurt. While wiping the blood, he asked him calmly:
"How did you find this place? How about that, Lord Kari Gong, has he ever made things difficult for you?"
Shi Wuqi didn't look at him for a while, and coaxed and coaxed for a long time, finally making Miss Ye's mood relax a little. He carefully placed her on the ground, and then began to answer Shan Hai's question - or rather, it wasn't really an answer.
"Of course I can find you. Making things difficult...isn't really what you call it. I always have a way. Come on, I'll take you to find Gaoyue-kun."
When the last few words came out, everyone stared directly at him. Even Aluan, who had been surrounding him, asked:
"You know Satsuki-kun is here..."
"I understand, just come with me. But...since it's so dangerous, I suggest you two go back and recuperate for a while."
Ye Linxi sighed.
"It's easy to say. I didn't bring a horse with me on this trip, and I didn't pay much attention to the way I came. It's really difficult for me to carry Xu Mei all the way back. And since she also wants to see Gaoyue-kun, please allow us Follow. As for Sister Xu, I will naturally protect her."
Ye Zixu tightly grasped the corner of Ye Linxi's clothes and stopped talking.
"Mu Wan is gone too..." A Luan whispered to Wu Qi.
Shi Wuqi glanced at Shan Hai, who didn't say anything or express any opinions. So he sighed.
"Let's go to Death Shadow Pavilion first. Mu Wan is very skilled in martial arts and will be fine. Once we meet Lord Gaoyue, we can ask her where she is."
Several people nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.
Shanhai looked at him repeatedly but said nothing.
