"Little Lord!"
"Little Lord!"
Several shouts rang in his ears, and Yuan Lintian fell into a trance. His memory quickly faded away like a tide, and when he saw it, he saw dozens of pairs of hopeful eyes staring at him.
"No problem."
"You should step back first, I will discuss it with the Holy Shou." Yuan Lintian felt his head was dizzy, as if the fatigue accumulated from traveling at sea this year suddenly appeared all over his body, he rubbed his temples and waved his hands to order.
"Yes." Seeing that he looked bad, everyone left one after another.
. . .
Liangchen was in the room holding a jade slip to meditate on the exercises, when he saw Yuan Lintian walking in with a sad look on his face.
"How about the discussion?" Liangchen asked.
"Oh, to be honest, I have no clue."
"My uncle has always made the decision, but his sudden departure left me with such a big chess game. I don't know what to do next." Yuan Lintian shook his head gently and briefly explained the troubles he had just discussed. one time.
I have always relied on a big tree, but suddenly one day I found that the tree fell suddenly. Looking around, there are all people who need your protection!
People who don't want to leave will eventually leave.
People who don’t want to grow up will eventually grow up.
"Alas~" Yuan Lintian's mind was full of complicated thoughts, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's less than a month before the soul selection ceremony begins. If they follow the method they discussed, first go to Black Mountain Village and then break into Longtan Tiger's Den. Traveling thousands of miles to reach Sun Touching Peak, not only will we not have enough time, but we may even lose our lives along the way."
"Has the high priest told you before what you will do when you come back?" Liangchen listened carefully and asked.
"I have said that at that time, my uncle just said that he should contact Yin Zhuang first, and then go to Sun Touch Peak to participate in the soul selection ceremony. As for how to get to Sun Touch Peak, he did not elaborate on it, as if I knew it without saying anything. Or maybe he said at that time, It's just that I didn't remember it." Yuan Lintian recalled it for a moment with a thoughtful expression on his face, and replied with a hint of melancholy.
After all, after so many years of wandering and the attitude of his clan members who kept him at arm's length, he was not very enthusiastic about this revenge plan.
If it weren't for his uncle's long-awaited expectations, he would probably prefer to be a stranger in a foreign land.
"Since he said he would go to Sun Touching Peak, there must be arrangements. You can reminisce again, or look for the relics left by the high priest to see if there are any clues." Liangchen suggested. After all, the Yuan family has made a comeback after decades of forbearance. , every step will definitely be taken into account. Even if there are still variables in the Soul Selection Sacrifice, at least reaching Sun Touching Peak will not be a problem.
Yuan Lintian's eyes lit up when he heard the sound. He patted his waist and found a storage bag in his hand. Then he tilted it towards the table, and there were many more items. It was my uncle's storage bag.
"I remembered that my uncle used to take a map and look at it over and over." He said as he turned it over.
After some searching, he found a roll of animal skin maps. The edges of the map were badly worn, so he must have read them frequently.
The map slowly unfolded. It was a map of the Wu Territory, with many small red dots scattered around the edge of the Wu Territory.
Yuan Lintian looked carefully and found a red dot in the smoky snake forest.
"What is marked on this map are more than a hundred hidden piles distributed throughout Wujiang." Yuan Lintian said and found the words "Black Mountain Village" in the red dot near the middle.
Some of the hidden piles have a thin yellow line drawn between them, some have a cross drawn on them, and some are marked with stars. The symbols overlap and densely cover the entire map.
"This line should be a place where there is a teleportation array or a connection. What does this star mean?" Looking at the various symbols, he made some guesses, which made him even more confused.
He had to find the Sun Touching Peak, but found that this peak was alone, with no line connecting it at all. He immediately pushed the map aside with some disappointment.
"There is no time. We must have a teleportation array to catch up. My uncle said that we can catch up, so there must be a teleportation array!"
"Teleportation array..."
Seeing the impasse, a dark passage suddenly appeared in his mind. In the passage, a panicked young man ran desperately behind an old man.
The dark passage led directly to the ground, without a trace of light, and after running for who knows how long, the old man finally stopped in a secret room.
The old man took out a slender cane and thrust it into the center of the pattern in the secret room, and the two of them disappeared in a ball of light.
This image often appeared in his dreams during the decades of wandering, like a lingering nightmare that often woke him up in the middle of the night.
Suddenly he stood up suddenly and pulled out a yellow cane from the pile of things.
He grabbed the map again and searched for it. His fingers traced the dense dots, and finally landed on a place where a six-winged frost-white insect was painted.
"Shadowless Gu, Prince Yuan's Mansion, Lingxing Pavilion."
"As expected!"
With excitement on his face, he searched carefully and found two more places with the same pattern, and the last one was painted with a red dot marked with a star, Greedy Beast Stream.
"Found it!" Yuan Lintian shouted with surprise on his face, making Liangchen look up in surprise.
"No wonder, my uncle never told me the route. It turns out he took me through this road once!"
"This was the escape route back then!" Yuan Lintian murmured to himself in a low voice with a look of astonishment on his face.
Although this road cannot reach Sun Touching Peak, Prince Yuan's Lingxing Pavilion can be reached in only three or two days' journey from Sun Touching Peak. As long as you can sneak into this place, all problems will be solved.
"Look at this map, it takes half a month to get to Greedy Beast Stream from here. Let's rest for one night and we'll set off tomorrow." Yuan Lintian finally solved the first problem on his own and said energetically.
. .
More than ten days later.
In a steep and dark canyon, a team was walking hesitantly. The team consists of seven or eight people, as insignificant as ants under the hundred-foot cliff.
Walking in the front was a man with missing ears. Most of the people behind him had scars on their bodies, but among them there were two dashing men in black who stood out. It was Liangchen and his party who had sneaked into this place all the way.
The Greedy Beast Stream is one of the many dangerous places in Wujiang. It is named after a group of ferocious greedy beasts that grow there. This beast has a strong body, rough skin and thick flesh. It not only has a strong recovery ability, but also has fast movements. It is extremely cunning by nature and likes to eat carrion. In addition, the valley is full of poisonous insects and poisonous insects, so few people break into it.
Since entering the canyon, the sky has gradually turned into a thin line, like a winding white snake circling above the head. Occasionally, wisps of skylight fall around, but it is difficult to drive away the darkness in everyone's heart.
Because there is no sunshine all year round in the valley, the ground is covered with moss and extremely slippery. There are all kinds of strange mushrooms growing on the roadside. Some are tall and short, some are chubby and some are skinny. They have thin handles and small caps, and some have short stalks and large caps. They have different and strange shapes. The colors of mushrooms are also different, some are withered yellow, some are plain brown, some are dark blue-gray, some are acacia white, they are dull and dull.
But the vast expanses of flowers and plants next to the mushrooms are extremely gorgeous and eye-catching. Each one is as big as a human face, some are blood red, some are emerald green, some are begonia vermilion, some are peacock blue, and they are all colorful.
The small dim mushrooms set off the large and colorful flowers, making them even more dazzling under the light.
If it weren't for the faint roars of strange beasts that echoed from time to time in the canyon, everyone would have almost thought they were in a paradise.
Because they were worried about alerting the Greedy Beast, everyone did not fly and walked carefully on the ground with their aura hidden.
After advancing like this for another half day, the line of sky at the top of the canyon was also tightly covered by dense woods, and the surrounding area suddenly became dark.
Someone wanted to sacrifice a fire lantern, but was stopped by others, so they had to move forward in the dark.
After walking like this for another half an hour, there were no stone paths on the ground, and all the footpaths were covered with thick dead branches and leaves. A small stream next to it meandered, and insects and frogs cooed in the water.
After walking along the stream for about an hour, they saw a rock in front of them like a giant ax chopping towards everyone. The stream also split into two and flowed to both sides.
"Which way to go?" Liangchen asked.
"I don't know either." Yuan Lintian looked around at the two dark canyons and shook his head helplessly. As he spoke, he took out the dark token again and moved it repeatedly. The token flickered like a firefly in the night. , and returned to peace again.
When they first entered the canyon, Yuan Lintian had already sent out a signal with a token. He thought that Yin Zhuang should send someone to respond at this time.
"Let's wait for a while." Yuan Lintian said after finishing everything.
"yes."
Everyone was ordered to stop. The ground was too muddy to sit cross-legged, so they had to find a random wall to lean against.
These people are a few capable people selected from the Snake Forest. In the past few decades, they have only left the Snake Forest when buying necessary items. They exchanged items in nearby villages to inquire about information and then returned immediately, so they met along the way. Everything is newer.
"Look at this mushroom, I wonder if it tastes more delicious after making snake soup!" One person said as he pulled out a fist-sized mushroom from a crack in the stone.
"Put it down! It must be poisonous!" Someone nearby shouted.
"Sigh~ We used to go into the mountains to collect herbs and collect poisons. What kind of poison have we never seen? Now that we have hidden it for so many years, we have lost even the courage!" The man sighed with emotion, but still threw the mushroom in his hand.
After Xu Shi heard his emotion, everyone's hearts sank, and the venue suddenly became quiet again.
At this moment, a sharp cry sounded on the field!
"Ah——! Save me!" I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Jumenjuan", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find confidants~
