Yi Xifeng did not talk to Zhong Lingxi, but silently moved closer to Zhong Lingxi, his steps stagnating for a while, and then he moved again when Zhong Lingxi walked in front of him.
He had to listen to what was happening behind him at all times.
But it still didn't feel safe enough, so he patted the Xizhou Sword gently. The moment the sword turned into a spirit, he understood Yi Xifeng's meaning and slowly floated upward.
Afterwards, a group of black flames slowly appeared beside itself.
The Night Sword Hanxing is unsheathed!
I don't know if it was because Yi Xifeng was too cautious or because he summoned the sword spirit, but the sense of danger behind him suddenly disappeared.
"Is it possible that I'm worrying too much?" The fair young man murmured softly, with a slight frown between his brows.
………………
The three men in black robes on several mountain peaks looked at Yi Xifeng walking on the path, feeling a little bored.
If nothing unexpected happened, the men they had just recruited would die in the hands of these two people.
But judging from his sharp reaction, he must have two brushes.
"Brother, shall we fight? Do we have to avenge our dead brothers?" The man in black in the middle looked at the person on his left and asked in confusion.
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden shock on the top of his head.
"Second brother, are you stupid? We came here to get the blood jade on orders from above. There is no need to have any conflict with them. Besides, those who died worked for us, no one else. We are all called brothers."
Before Zhang Tao on the left could speak, the man in black robe on the right had already spoken.
"But, the direction they were walking in was obviously towards the Blood Spirit Jade." Zhang Miao said.
"It's still a long distance away. Why are you in a hurry? Let's go get the Blood Spirit Jade first." The eldest brother Zhang Tao took out a map, looked at it carefully, then talked slowly and continued. "Furthermore, everyone's attention has been attracted by the blood jade that exploded in another place. Only the higher-ups know about our place."
"Heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know."
After saying that, the three of them disappeared again, withdrew their gaze from Yi Xifeng, turned around and walked into the mountain forest, walking forward along the mountain road.
The chirping of insects rang out, hiding the sounds of the three people marching in the night sky.
Outside the path, Yi Xifeng glanced at the mountain peak, then looked back, brows a little puzzled.
"Why don't these people come over?"
The three brothers of the Zhang family followed the guidance on the map, watched the sky at night, and using the star path as a guide, they arrived at the point marked on the map early.
"Shuangluan Mountain, the two-inch peak, the fire crow covers one head."
"Go carefully, walk carefully, and don't look back once you've got something."
Zhang Tao looked at the words on the picture, stretched out his fingers and carefully compared them with the scenery in front of him.
"Shuangluan Mountain should be these two towering mountains."
"There are two small peaks on the top of the mountain. From below, it is indeed the same size as my finger. This should be the two-inch peak."
"What does it mean when a fire crow covers a head?"
"When I get the thing, it should be after I get the Blood Spirit Jade. If I get it, I will definitely not look back."
Zhang Tao murmured in a low voice. He didn't even think about it before he understood the meaning of the last sentence in the first paragraph. He turned around and looked at the two people behind him, and found that the two people had their eyes closed and were resting their minds, not caring at all.
Seeing this, he immediately swore in his mouth and pulled the two of them in and followed the mountain path.
Love is what it is, anyway, it's just him who has to do his own work, and he won't be able to fight and both will be punished.
Wait...what is this?
The three Zhang family brothers looked at the scene in front of them and were speechless for a while.
The night slowly fades away, and the morning sun comes. After noon, the sunset goes again.
The dim sunset shines on the rolling waves, and the waves surge like broken gold on the brown coast. The breeze blows on the cheeks of the three brothers of the Zhang family. Zhang Tao stared at this place for a moment, then cast his gaze into the distance, and then looked back. Look at the way you came.
Walking along the path in the mountains, you will see that it is not a cave or a rocky place, but a small closed fishing village.
But... where does this sea come from?
When he looked at the hand-drawn drawing in his hand again, there was fear in his eyes. The picture depicted the scene of this small fishing village.
There is nothing else like "Shuangluan Mountain, two-inch peak, fire crow covers one head."
"Where is this..."
……………………
Yi Xifeng and Zhong Lingxi walked straight forward along the mountain path. At the beginning, they could still see scattered huts in the mountain, and even a few old men picking fruits with their children. But the further they went down, the closer they got to the primitive forest. Everything around him slowly became quiet, leaving only the overlap of light and shadow, and the rustling sound like the wind blowing through the forest trees.
"Yi Xifeng, we are on the right path, right?"
Zhong Lingxi spoke quietly, with a hint of uncertainty in her words. After all, they had been walking for a whole day. Although they came by flying sword, the journey did not feel that far.
She looked up at the sky. The setting sun had dyed half of the sky red and seemed to be fading away.
The fair young man just shook Zhong Lingxi's jade hand vigorously without saying anything, as if he was explaining his answer with his actions.
After walking for about another stick of incense, the sky had completely turned into darkness, and wisps of light suddenly appeared at the end of the field of vision.
The long-lost candlelight of the thatched cottage once again appeared in front of them, but this candlelight appeared between the two peaks in front.
When they came, they seemed to have passed these two mountain peaks... but since they were in the sky, they couldn't see them clearly.
Yi Xifeng suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Lingxi asked doubtfully.
"Strange..." Yi Xifeng narrowed his eyes, his pupils flickered, and his brows wrinkled slightly, "The soul detection failed? How is this possible?"
Before Zhong Lingxi could ask, the soul appeared again and looked forward. However, when passing through the path in the middle of the mountain peak, it came suddenly, as if something was blocking it.
"Forget it, let's go first. After all, there is no other choice here."
Yi Xifeng had no choice but to give up after hearing this and could only walk towards them. But the closer he got to the two peaks, the more uneasy he felt. At this time, the few people who had spied on him before had left without knowing when. He couldn't find what made him uneasy.
Although it was night, the moonlight in the mid-air was as bright as half a jade plate. There was no obstruction around the mountain peaks, and the moonlight shone straight down, illuminating the mountain path.
It wasn't until the two of them got closer that they realized how straight the two towering mountains were, and the tops of the mountains were even smoother, without sharp edges. (End of chapter)
