"How long will it take to get to Yangcheng from here?"
Su Chen asked.
Yan Bi pondered for a moment and said: "The horse can travel day and night, and we can arrive in two days."
After listening, Su Chen said with deep eyes, "In that case, let's set off now."
"Going right now?"
Yan Bi was startled, as if she didn't expect Su Chen to be so decisive and not even prepared.
"good."
Su Chen said and turned around to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Yan Bi quickly stepped forward to catch up, "I guess you don't know where Yangcheng is. I'll find someone to go with you and lead the way."
"Can."
Su Chen nodded.
At this moment, the identities of the two seemed to have changed. Yan Bi was more like a disciple, following him and asking for opinions.
"Who should I let go..."
Yan Bi thought in her mind, who has ever been to Yangcheng to perform a mission?
After thinking about it, there seems to be no such person in Luoyun Peak.
The two of them walked down Luoyun Peak. At the foot of the mountain, there was a figure standing. When they saw the two of them, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Elder Yan, Senior Brother Su."
Yan Bi looked at her with surprise, "Chu Yuan, why are you here?"
That's right, the person who came over was none other than Senior Sister Yue Yuefeng, Chu Yuan.
Su Chen couldn't help but take a second look at her, mainly because of her abnormal behavior that day, which left a deep impression on her.
Chu Yuan glanced at Su Chen, and then asked Yan Bi: "Elder Yan, Senior Brother Su is going to Yangcheng during this trip?"
"good."
Yan Bi couldn't help but look a little strange when she heard this. How did she know?
After receiving the answer, a look of excitement appeared on Chu Yuan's cold face, and she quickly said: "Please allow Elder Yan to agree to let me go together!"
"This disciple is from Yangcheng and can lead the way for Senior Brother Su!"
She met Wu Xiuxiu by chance. At that time, Wu Xiuxiu was also awake and dreaming. After hearing the murmur in her sleep, she learned that there were ancient ruins in Yangcheng and planned to let Su Chen go explore it. She felt that this was an opportunity and she thought she couldn't miss it!
Come here and wait immediately.
Fortunately, she waited.
When Yan Bi heard what she said, not only did she not agree, but she put on a pretty face and scolded: "Nonsense! You have been coming to Suppress Dragon Sect for many years. When did you ever hear that you can go wherever you want?"
"Did Wu Xiuxiu approve it?"
Chu Yuan came here to stop people, so naturally she would not let Wu Xiuxiu know.
In order to get Yan Bi to agree, Chu Yuan had to prove her worth, "I can lead the way and shorten the original two-day journey to one day!"
Hearing this, Su Chen looked a little moved.
But Yan Bi remained unmoved, "No, do you know how dangerous this trip is!"
If she was sure to come back, she would just turn a blind eye. It was up to her to handle Wu Xiuxiu's side.
But once this trip is over, everything is unknown, and there is a high possibility that we will not be able to come back!
Su Chen just let it go, there was nothing he could do at that time.
But Chu Yuan is the senior sister of Yue Yuefeng, so how could anything happen?
The impact is too great.
Chu Yuan quickly begged, "Please, Elder Yan, please let me go with you!"
"no!"
Yan Bi's attitude was resolute and she really couldn't let her take risks.
…
Su Chen was at the side, quietly watching their entanglement. It felt like a long time passed before he said, "Why don't you just let her go with me."
“As long as it’s not included in the monuments.”
"Besides, I really need a guide, don't I?"
The two women fell silent for a moment and looked at him at the same time.
Yan Bi's eyes showed complicated meanings. Obviously, she was very moved, but when the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who can guarantee whether this girl will enter the historical site?
Chu Yuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect this man to speak for her.
"Don't worry, I won't let her enter the monument."
Su Chen assured.
Hearing this, Yan Bi still hesitated, but only for a moment before nodding in agreement, "Okay, but you must promise me not to let her in!"
"Do not worry."
After Su Chen agreed, he would naturally not let Chu Yuan go too. Isn't it inconvenient to go alone?
Seeing this, Yan Bi turned to Chu Yuan and warned with an extremely serious expression: "Judging from this elder's reaction, you must also know how serious this is."
"Don't enter the monuments, understand?"
"clear!"
Chu Yuan's cold face showed a faint smile and nodded.
"As long as I can go through a journey with Su Chen."
She thought this in her heart.
…
At the arch of Zhenlong Sect.
Su Chen and Chu Yuan were waiting this time, and Yan Bi went to handle the affairs for them.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Chu Yuan took small steps and got closer to Su Chen.
"Stop."
Su Chen said calmly, "I don't care what your intentions are. Just lead the way. There shouldn't be any delay in this matter."
His tone was somewhat warning, and he also wanted to tell Chu Yuan that I am speaking for you just so that you can turn the two-day journey into one day, that's all.
Chu Yuan paused, a look of disappointment flashed across her emotionless face, and she stood still without moving.
"you hate me?"
After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked.
"Can't talk about it."
Su Chen Wugan said: "You and I are not familiar with each other. At most, we only communicated with each other when we were in Chuangshan."
Chu Yuan blinked her eyes and exhaled like a blue breath: "But what if I said that just that once, I was attracted to you?"
"It's just an illusion."
Su Chen responded lightly. After speaking, he looked like he no longer wanted to talk to her, and turned to look at the scenery elsewhere.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yuan opened her mouth, but gave up.
"Hmph, I'll let you taste the power of this girl on the way."
Chu Yuan groaned in her heart, an illusion? She didn't think it was an illusion. Even now, she felt an impulse in her heart, wanting to go over and put a sticker on her; or be scolded coldly, whatever it was was fine, as long as she could make contact.
Just thinking about it makes my heart beat faster.
Su Chen, who seemed to be feeling something, glanced out of the corner of his eye, remembering something, and his expression became a little weird.
He seems to have used the wrong attitude...
About half an hour passed, and Yan Bi hadn't come back yet, but another person was waiting for her.
Senior Sister Wanglongfeng, Liu Yingying.
"I want to go with you!"
When she came to find Su Chen at the gate of the sect, this was the first thing she said.
"impossible."
Su Chen refused without thinking.
Everyone is here to join in the fun, what do you think of this trip?
Going out for an outing?
Liu Yingying stared at Su Chen and did not give up. She pointed at Chu Yuan and asked, "Then why can she!?"
"I can lead the way."
Su Chen didn't answer, and he didn't bother to answer. Chu Yuan took the initiative when she saw this.
After saying that, she raised her delicate chin at Liu Yingying, which meant, I am useful, what can you do?
Liu Yingying was at a loss for words. What would she do? She can't do anything.
Suddenly, she remembered her original intention of coming here.
"I'm going to bring back my disciples from Wanglong Peak. As a senior sister, I have this responsibility!"
If she hadn't found out about Yangcheng's ancient ruins today, she might have gone there long ago.
Su Chen looked at her, "Since the sect asked me to go, there must be a reason. Are you so willful, do you think this is a joke?"
Just at this moment, Yan Bi also came back, bringing two horses with him.
…
The night is as dark as ink.
Two horses galloped, bringing up a gust of wind and passing by quickly.
Passing through the pass between two mountains, the outline of a city came into view.
Since it was night and there was still some distance, only the tall city walls could be seen standing on the horizon.
"Yangcheng, we're here."
Chu Yuan spoke coldly, listening to Ta's tone, which sounded a little gloomy.
She never thought this would be the case.
Follow the official road, from Zhenlongzong, through the border of Xiangjun, and then to Yangcheng. It will take two days without stopping.
And with her leading the way, you can take a shortcut, ignore the official road, and go sideways all the way, which is the same as an almost straight road. The only flaw is that there are no people on the road.
The advantage is that it is very fast and you can take a short rest.
To say that the two-day journey was shortened to one day is an understatement.
They came down at high speed. Let's put it this way, they set off in the afternoon, and now it is the evening of the same day. Depending on the sky, it will be dawn in about an hour.
"Go ask someone to open the door."
Su Chen said casually.
When Chu Yuan heard this, she immediately turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, forgetting that her calculations had failed, and she still ordered herself to do things for him. What did she think of herself?
My heart was full of resentment, but I still followed his words, rode my horse to the city gate, and had a brief chat with the soldier who was keeping watch at night.
Not long after, the soldier guarding the city gate was heard shouting, "Open the door!"
"Bang bang bang..."
As a heavy sound spread, the heavy city gate slowly opened.
"Let's go!"
Chu Yuan returned to Su Chen and said angrily.
The latter didn't care and drove his horse forward.
When they came to the city gate, the soldier guarding the city gate clasped his fists at them and said, "You two, please move to the city lord's palace. Someone of us has already gone to report to the city lord."
The two of them drove their horses forward. The soldier wanted to show them the way, but Chu Yuan interrupted him as soon as he opened his mouth, "No, I know."
As a Yangcheng person, if I say I don't know where the City Lord's Mansion is, I won't be afraid of being laughed out of my mouth.
Riding a horse on the streets of the city, Su Chen looked forward, and after a while, he said, "Is this road diagonal?"
Chu Yuan nodded disapprovingly, "Yang City is built on a concave ground. The surrounding areas are high and the center is low. Yingyang Lake is in the center of the city."
Su Chen groaned, his mind already racing with thoughts, and a word slowly appeared in his mind.
"The place of convergence."
…
Yingyang Lake.
Su Chen, Chu Yuan, and a middle-aged man came here together.
In the dark night, the calm lake surface is like a bottomless abyss, empty and mysterious, touching and terrifying.
The middle-aged man standing next to Su Chen and the two men was clearly the city lord of Yang City. When he heard that they were from Zhenlong Sect, he brought people here without saying a word.
"This is Yingyang Lake. There is no sun during the day today, and this is what it looks like at night."
Yangcheng City Lord said: "But we have also tried it. Even if there is no sun, we can still reveal the 'door' at the bottom of the lake."
When this historic site appeared, Yangcheng was once very popular and its popularity increased dramatically. There are also many more people doing flower arrangements. It can be opened without the sun. It was discovered at that time.
But later, when the explorers disappeared, the popularity of Yangcheng's ancient ruins gradually subsided and they returned to their original appearance.
Su Chen looked around, nodded, and indeed found some clues.
The surrounding areas are high and the center is low, which should be the place where everything settles, connecting the mountains. There is water in the low center, which is the situation of suppression.
I'm afraid, the bottom of this lake is not a historic site!
