After much deliberation, Tao and Li finally smoothed out their words and came to the house and knocked on the door. However, no matter whether they knocked lightly or hard, there was no movement from the people in the room, which made them feel panicked.
"Tao'er...why didn't any of them make any movement? Could it be that we struck too suddenly and seriously injured them?" Li'er said nervously, pulling on Tao'er's clothes.
"No...probably not! I checked their injuries before leaving, and there is indeed no danger of life! But it would be rude to rush in so suddenly..." Tao'er's heart was beating loudly.
"Dong dong dong..." Just as the two were hesitating, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps in the distance. They turned around and saw Xing'er hurried over with her skirt in hand. Before they could stop her, Xing'er pushed open the door...
"Xing'er... you are... forget it! It's okay, you shouldn't be too polite to them!" Tao'er was also afraid that something might happen to the people in the room. After hesitating for a moment, her tone became stern again. , followed Myolie and stepped in.
"What...what's going on? Where is the person?" Seeing the situation in front of her, Tao'er was also dumbfounded. As soon as her palms were loosened, the note fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, the people on the bed had long since disappeared, leaving only Lao Gao with a bulging quilt, as if someone was lying in it in the darkness.
"As expected!" Xing'er snorted and said to the two people who were rummaging through the boxes: "Tao'er and Li'er, stop looking for them! They've already escaped!"
"What should we do now?" Li'er was quite nervous, "If Mrs. Xue finds out, she will definitely lose her temper!"
"They definitely won't have time to escape from the Moon Observation Altar now! Xing'er and Li'er, please go down and ask the disciples to conduct a strict search!" Tao'er gritted her teeth and said, "As for Mrs. Xue... leave it to me to explain! In short...there is absolutely no room for any mistakes before the ceremony! It’s important to find someone! Hurry!”
The Moon Observation Altar, which originally had only dim lights flickering, suddenly lit up countless torches, illuminating the dark ground as if it were daytime. The Moon Observation Altar was crowded with people, and it was as lively as a festival...
"Humph! This is what you guys have done!" Mrs. Xue also left the purple gauze tent at this time, paced back and forth in the room, and said angrily: "Look! Use everyone's strength to find it! If you can't find it, As long as they are here, you three don’t come back!”
“Then…Mrs.
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Xue said coldly, "Anyone who can breathe, scream for me!"
But before Tao'er left, she heard Mrs. Xue's voice coming from behind her: "Forget it, the people over there should stay and watch. After all, we can't delay the business, let's go!"
"Yes! Madam!" After Tao'er said that, she left as if running for her life.
When Mrs. Can't you breathe even a little bit? Don't worry, kid... As long as the godmother can live for one more day, when the ceremony ends tomorrow... things may come to an end..."
After saying this, Mrs. Xue frowned, put on her shirt and dodged into the night.
"Has it been checked at the exit?"
"Don't worry! The exits will be strictly guarded! Not even mosquitoes can pass through without permission!"
"Have all the hiding places on the mountain been carefully searched?"
"Absolutely no omissions!"
"That's really weird. Can these guys spread their wings and fly away?" Tao'er looked up at the night sky and muttered in a low voice, but before she finished speaking, she heard someone behind her say: "Even if they can fly, Even if you leave, you must catch them back to me! There will be no room for any mistakes in what happens tomorrow!"
Tao'er was startled by the arrival and broke into a cold sweat. She quickly turned around and said nervously: "Mrs. Xue! Why did you come out? Your body..."
"It's a matter of time anyway. As long as you don't anger me, it will be better than anything else..." Mrs. Xue chuckled.
"Madam... Tao'er forbids you to say that..."
Seeing tears welling up in Tao'er's eyes, Mrs. Xue also touched her little head and said with a smile: "You little fool... I haven't seen Tao'er's big day yet, Madam, I can't bear to leave..."
"Madam!" Tao'er squeaked, looking shy, and stamped her feet in protest.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Is there any news about those people?"
"not yet…"
"Ah! Mrs. Xue! You..." The visitor was about to report the situation to Tao'er when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Mrs. Xue behind him and quickly bowed and saluted.
"No courtesy! Say it!" Mrs. Xue nodded and said with a smile.
"Back to Mrs. Xue, we searched the entire Moon Viewing Altar and indeed found no human figure. I thought... could it be that they had left long ago?" the man said cautiously.
"It's impossible... The Moon Viewing Altar is heavily guarded! It's impossible to let these guys escape like this! Even in terms of time, it's not as fast as it should be! And..." Tao'er didn't agree with the visitor's point of view at all, and retorted. .
When Mrs. Xue saw that Tao'er wanted to continue speaking, she interrupted her with a slight cough and asked, "Are you serious that you didn't omit anything?"
"Back to Mrs. Xue, we definitely don't dare to be careless...except...we really can't set foot on the road to the back mountain pavilion...They shouldn't..." The visitor was suddenly startled.
"I understand... Just pass on my instructions and say there's no need to look for them. Let's prepare for tomorrow's ceremony!"
"Yes!" The visitor bowed and backed away slowly, then turned around and left in a hurry.
"Madam...are we serious that we are not looking for you?" Taoer asked tentatively.
"Hmph! Go and call Xing'er and Li'er, and come with me to the back mountain to meet it!"
"Absolutely not, madam! We are the cause of this matter, just leave it to us. Madam Xue, your body..."
"I know my situation well, so you don't need to worry about it! Go quickly..." Mrs. Xue turned her back and said. Although her tone was stern, her expression was a bit unbearable. From the corner of her eye, she saw Tao'er leaving sadly, then she sighed and walked slowly towards the back mountain...
…
"Whoops! There's no one here! This way..." Mu Fengchun was leading the way in a swaggering manner, but he didn't want to watch the Moon Altar suddenly light up like daylight, completely exposing himself. Fortunately, Huang Qilin had quick eyes and quick hands. After pulling Mu Fengchun back to the back of the stone, no one noticed, so the few of them were a little more careful and sneaked away along the path at the back of the mountain.
"What's going on with the people in the Moon Viewing Altar? Why do they look like they're growing out of the ground?" Along the way, they were careful, but they were almost discovered several times. Obviously there is no one on the road in front of you, but every time the moonlight sets, you will see people walking in the Moon Viewing Altar wearing navy blue and white moon-patterned snake robes.
These people in the Moon Viewing Altar appeared and disappeared like ghosts, which made several people secretly sweat. If it weren't for Yu Siling's extraordinary perception, I'm afraid these people would have been taken back to the Moon Viewing Altar and become the materials for those sacrifices.
"No!" Just as a few people were walking on a path in front of them, they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from behind. They had no way to avoid it, so they could only bend down and press their bodies to the ground, not daring to raise their heads. Panting, he looked behind him.
I saw a young-looking disciple of the Moon Viewing Altar behind me, holding the cold light in his hand and approaching cautiously. Ten steps...nine steps...seven steps...three steps...two steps...As long as you take one more step, you will find Several people at your feet.
Seeing the cold light in front of him getting closer and closer, as long as the visitor lowers his head for a moment, he will find traces of several people. Huang Qilin frowned and started to move his hands. If he was caught, he would surely die anyway, so it was better to strike first. Fight for a chance of survival!
But before he could take action, he heard two more footsteps in the distance. Huang Qilin felt chilled when he saw the person coming. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he no longer dared to make any unnecessary moves.
I saw that the person who came was wearing the same clothes as the disciple in front of me, but he was much taller than this disciple. Looking at the two men, they are almost the same height, but one of them is thinner and the other is fatter. The thinner's clothes are shorter, and the fatter's clothes have holes in them, which looks very funny. The two of them were holding Hanguang in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, looking very comfortable.
"Newcomer, why are you here?" The thin man among them pulled down his hem to cover his exposed ankles, but when he raised his hands, his ankles were exposed again, and he simply stopped covering them and started covering his ankles. Hiccup asked.
"Senior brother, I saw that no one had searched here, so I thought of doing a search..."
"Go back! Go back! You don't have to worry about it here!" The thin senior brother said as he shook the wine bottle.
"But, I haven't investigated it carefully..." The disciple quickly explained.
"This is not the place you should come..."
Before the thin man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the fat man: "Haha! With the two of us guarding this place, not even a fly can fly over! Besides, you are not afraid of anything when you come here alone. Danger? I’m here, junior brother, don’t worry!”
"In that case, I'll bother you two senior brothers..." The disciple turned his head and looked unwillingly, scratched his feet with the cold light in his hand, then turned and left.
Seeing this disciple leaving, the fat disciple from Guanyuetan kicked the man next to him on the butt and muttered: "You skinny bamboo pole, don't talk nonsense. What if you scare away the newly arrived disciple?" You feel good!"
"What nonsense did I say? You cactus knows how to pretend to be a good person! I will definitely meet you well today!"
"Come here! Who is afraid of whom?"
"Bah! You say that every time, and you secretly pour the wine away every time!"
"Nonsense, you saw it wrong...I obviously drank cleanly, but you secretly..."
“…”
Although the two of them looked ordinary and their conversation was irrelevant, Huang Qilin had seen their skills in the Moon Observation Altar back then!
At that time, in the daytime, the two of them used the moonlight move of the Taiyin Sword Qi to achieve perfection. Especially the blue-green and red-brown light was unforgettable. This was when the two of them were drinking to leave early. And if they deal with it casually, if they are discovered by them now under the moonlight, I am afraid that these people present will be unable to resist any move.
As their voices faded away, Huang Qilin breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose.
The cold light in the disciple's hand just passed across the tip of his nose. If it were an inch and a half farther away, let alone the appearance, the mask on his face would have no place to stay in the future...
