When Yu Ye woke up again, the light was dim and her body fell sharply. She hurriedly grabbed the tree to stabilize her body. Looking around, she saw dark clouds covering the moon in the sky, a mountain rain was about to come, and she was on the mountainside, precarious. She secretly cursed this damn wonderful spirit for not finding a good place to land even if she wanted to travel through time, which had caused Miss Ben a lot of trouble.
She moved her body carefully, the branch broke, rolled all the way, and fell into a forest. Yuye was beaten to the point of disgrace and dizziness.
Just as she was about to get up, an arm gently pressed down, indicating her to lie down in the grass. Then, torches lined the official road outside, and a group of people came galloping over.
"Everyone split up and look for strangers. We will dig three feet into the ground to find the destined person." The leader shouted, and everyone dispersed.
After the silence calmed down, the man stood up and nodded to her. He was vaguely a middle-aged Taoist priest, "The situation forced me to offend the girl. I apologize to Xuanyang, a poor Taoist."
When Yuye heard this, she jumped up excitedly. It was truly a blessing from God, and it came without any effort. She hurriedly asked: "Taoist Priest, where is Miao Ling now?"
When Xuanyang heard this, he was confused and asked: "What young age? Is the destined person a young woman?"
Yu Ye was secretly disappointed, she came a little early, before Miao Ling appeared. She had no choice but to change the subject: "Taoist priest, what exactly is the destined person you are talking about?"
"It seems that the girl is not a Jianghu person. In the past few days, there have been rumors in the world that someone has a glimpse of the secret, and the destined person will appear here, so various factions are flocking to look for it. The reason why I stopped you from going out just now is to avoid falling into the hands of those Jianghu people. , causing trouble.”
He looked suspiciously at Yu Ye up and down. Yu Ye said coldly: "You don't need to read it. There are no people who are destined to be destined, but there is one who is suffering."
She burst into tears, tears streaming down her clothes, about paying homage to her deceased father late at night, encountering robbers, escaping and falling into a cliff, etc. The story was nonsense, but it was told with great emotion.
The Taoist priest was also moved by this and sighed. He took out a piece of silver from his arms and said, "I shouldn't have abandoned a weak woman like you in the mountains. It's just that the poor Taoist is also eager to find the person of destiny. We can't delay. You hide first." , come down the mountain at dawn and go home!"
This Taoist priest is really simple and can be bullied. Yuye feels guilty. She reminds: "Please pay attention to the seven or eight-year-old boy, maybe he is the destined one!"
The Taoist priest raised his eyebrows and suddenly reminded her when leaving, "You don't have to worry about wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, but remember, the Floating Cloud Castle on the top of the mountain is an extremely dangerous place, so don't get close."
Xuanyang left, Yu Ye leaned in the grass, not sleepy at all. Many passers-by and horses searched the mountain repeatedly. There were sounds one after another, and fire dragons filled the mountains and fields. It was very lively. Only the castle on the top of the mountain is hidden among the clouds, dormant quietly.
In the second half of the night, the group of people who had been beaten up died down, the forest returned to tranquility, and the sound of insects began again. The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a full moon, bright as day.
Yu Ye looked at Fuyun Castle, yearning for it in her heart. The more he talks about danger, the less he can restrain his curiosity. She meditated quietly, preparing to use her soul shape to explore Floating Cloud Castle. After a try, she found that the Soul Wandering Technique could not be used at all.
"This abominable time travel, I even lost my housekeeping skills."
She found seven more stones, scattered them on the ground, and used the Nine Palaces and Bagua to deduce that the direction of Fuyun Castle was clearly a good place. Why did the Taoist say it was a dangerous place? She thought about it over and over again, her heart itching unbearably, and finally decided that she would explore the Floating Cloud Castle at night regardless of the dangers.
Yu Ye stood up and walked forward lowly. The moonlight was bright and the horse path up the mountain was smooth and wide. It took a while to reach the mountain gate. This castle is made of blue stone, tall and majestic, and extremely strong. But the city gate is closed and cannot be entered.
She was going around the city wall and found several vines hanging down from the top of the wall. It was a blessing from heaven. Yuye held on to the vines and slowly climbed up to the top of the city. There was no one on it, and even the streets were quiet. It really looked like a ghost town.
Looking around, the pavilions and pavilions are antique and have a simple and heavy feeling. She walked along the street, and there was a tall pavilion in the middle of the city. It stood out like a flock of chickens, with extraordinary majesty. It was the core of the city.
The carved wooden door was ajar, and Yuye felt uneasy and hesitant, but in the end curiosity took over and she gently pushed the wooden door open. There was dim candlelight inside, but there was still no one there.
This is a spacious living room with simple and heavy mahogany furniture and a few pieces of antique celadon, which is very elegant. Yuye ran his hands over the smooth wood, guessing the identity of the owner of the house.
At this time, a dark wind blew by, the candle swayed, and suddenly went out. Then there was a deep sigh, like a wild beast growling. Yuye's heart suddenly tightened, because the air around her was so dark and thin that it was difficult to even breathe.
A black shadow flew over, crushing it with force, and Yu Ye was pressed to the ground. With the help of the moonlight, she saw a strangely ugly face, with ferocious eyes, distorted facial features, a blood-filled mouth slightly open, and drooling saliva.
"Ghost!" Yu Ye shouted loudly.
The man stretched out his blood-red tongue and licked her cheek, and the hot, wet and slippery feeling made her tremble all over. "What are you doing? Let me go!" Yu Ye yelled again.
The man was breathing heavily and was very excited. He suddenly tore open her clothes. Yuye's head was pounding, and a feeling of despair occupied her heart. She tried to calm herself down and slapped the man on the face with all her strength.
"I am the one destined by fate. If you dare to offend me, I will die!"
The man stopped and Yuye rolled over, out of control. The man moved quickly, grabbed her throat with his hands, and pressed against the wall.
"You lied to me? I hate people who lie to me the most." He exerted force with his palms, and Yu Ye immediately suffocated. There was still a little comfort in her heart. It was better to die like this than to be humiliated.
As her consciousness gradually blurred, the man suddenly let go, and Yuye fell heavily to the ground, losing consciousness...
When she woke up again, Yu Ye was lying in the heated tent. She sat up suddenly and felt that her body was no different. She was intact and unscathed, except that her coat had been replaced with a brand new snow-white robe. At this time, there was a soft conversation outside. Yu Ye quietly got out of bed and leaned against the door to peek.
In the hall outside, there was a man and a woman. The man was the ugly guy who violently raped her yesterday. He was sitting upright now, looking like a humble gentleman. The other woman has a voluptuous figure, but her appearance is regrettable and extremely ugly.
"Master, do you really think she is the destined one? Is there any conspiracy behind this person taking the initiative to send you to your door?" the woman said softly.
Unexpectedly, this ugly thing is really the boss. Yuye listened carefully and heard the castle master's voice soft, like a quiet scholar, "She is the destined one, there is no doubt about it! As for whether there is a conspiracy? We need to be careful."
"She is so weak and has no magic power. Are you mistaken?"
"Don't forget the prophetic inscription 'The truth is hidden under the surface'!" The castle owner lifted up his collar, and there was a clear white mark on his neck. "Yesterday, during the crisis, a white light emitted from her chest, waking me up instantly. Such a superpower is unheard of, so she must be right.”
Yu Ye thought in her heart, did Miao Ling's spiritual power save her at the critical moment?
"Yuetong, summon the four of them immediately. We are in urgent need and rush back immediately!"
The woman was startled, "Are you trying to break into the forbidden area of Blackstone Pond? It has been hundreds of years, and no one has ever succeeded. Besides, the prophecy monument has been destroyed for thousands of years, and even children can memorize that mantra, so there is no need to take risks!" "
The castle master waved his hand as expected, "I've made up my mind, go and handle it quickly."
Yuetong had no choice but nodded in agreement, turned around and walked towards the back room. Yuye quickly went to bed and closed her eyes. Yuetong covered her with the quilt and couldn't help but sigh: "What a beautiful woman! Even if I have the face of my dreams for one day, I will never regret it!"
Yuye pretended to wake up leisurely, "Who are you? Where am I..."
Yu Ye got up, feeling hungry, so he feasted first. After dinner, Yuetong asked: "Who is this girl from? How could she break into Fuyun Castle late at night?"
"My name is Zhu Yuye. I come from the future. I'm looking for a seven or eight-year-old boy."
She told the truth, but Yuetong obviously didn't believe it. She smiled and said, "It seems that the girl has some difficulties, so I won't ask any more questions."
"Am I a prisoner? Can I go outside?"
"The castle master has given instructions. You are our honored guest. We have something to ask for. As long as you don't leave, Yuetong will accompany you wherever you want to go."
When the two came out, Yuetong specially found a white gauze to cover her face, her eyes were filled with envy, "If others see your fairy-like face, the girls will become jealous, but the young man will not be obsessed with you?"
The sun was shining brightly outside, and there was an endless stream of people on the street. There is an endless stream of passers-by, men, women, old and young, with different looks, but they are all extremely ugly. Yu Ye was confused and thought to herself, "Who are these people?"
The two of them were walking and occasionally met a boy. Yuetong asked him seriously, and Yuye smiled secretly, "Miaoling must not be so ugly when she was young, right?"
While walking, there is an ancestral hall in front of you. Climb up the stairs and climb to the highest point, looking out at the sea of clouds and the white mist.
"This is the place where we worship our ancestors. Our clan has eight surnames, headed by Situ. They have lived here for generations and rarely intermarry with foreigners..."
Yuye looked around and his eyes fell on a rubble of rocks. Yuetong said: "That is the prophecy tablet passed down by our ancestors, but it is a pity that it has been broken."
Yuye remembered the conversation between the two just now, and became very interested. She ran quickly and looked carefully. Among the pile of rocks, there was a larger fragment, and the writing could be vaguely read.
"This legacy sentence 'The truth is hidden beneath the surface' is well known to everyone in our tribe and has no special meaning."
Yuye's interest continued, and he carefully observed the position of each gravel. "Sister, look, this is facing the Beidou, and its tail is pointing directly at the Sirius. They are the innate Bagua formation, and there must be something mysterious in it."
Yuetong smiled and said: "This stone has been turned over by generations of people, and even if there is a mystery, it has been annihilated long ago."
"Heavenly secrets are often hidden in randomness and disorder. This is the subtlety of the hexagrams."
She pinched her fingers to deduce, and suddenly pointed towards the cliff, "Sister, please go to the 'Gen' position, go down a hundred feet, and see if there is anything abnormal on the cliff wall?"
Yuetong was doubtful, so a colorful ribbon flew out from her sleeve, wrapped around the tree trunk, and then jumped down. After a moment, she jumped up, holding an ancient wooden box in her hand...
