The moment it got dark, there was actually some commotion in the team.
When the wind blew, a hand stretched out out of thin air and put a hand on the shoulder of someone behind the team.
The man couldn't hold back and glanced back subconsciously.
What did he see?
No one knew, but the moment he turned back, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he shouted heartbreakingly at the top of his lungs: "Ah——!"
Horrible screams resounded in the back of the team, and the crowd suddenly became turbulent.
Even though the escorts from Sitong Escort Bureau just reminded them, don’t look back, don’t talk, don’t pay attention to anyone who yells, and if you can’t enter the mountain, you have to rush forward in one breath...
However, human instinct is not easily controllable. Some people just lack willpower. Even if they understand in their hearts, they still can't help but make mistakes in their behavior.
A scream led to more screams, and in the chaos, panicked people began to run and rush.
Under the dark sky, the escort flags were moving in the cold wind. The escort masters and escorts of Sitong Escort Bureau were protecting their escorts——
What dart is it? They are several wealthy families who have delivered large amounts of gold, silver and treasures.
These people urged their mounts in front, drove horses and chariots, and ran forward without stopping.
The chief escort's blood was bulging all over his body, like smoke rising from a wolf. He was holding a long spear in one hand, with a cold light flickering on the tip of the spear. In his other hand, he actually held a slender white candle.
This slender white candle had a small pea-sized flame burning faintly at the top. When everyone ran quickly, the wind swayed, and the fire at the top of the white candle also swayed with the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any time!
A kind of panic began to spread among the team, which was inevitable.
Some people disobeyed the reminders of the bodyguards in the chaos, and were forced by some indescribable feeling of terror to rush into the mountains in a panic. This is beyond words.
Song Ciwan, who was in the carriage, opened the curtain in front and saw Yu Lin, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, with all his muscles flexing. The brown horse pulling the carriage had its hooves jumping wildly. Seeing their carriage, it started to move. Get off track!
Yu Lin didn't realize it at all. He firmly remembered the words of the escorts: he couldn't look back or shout, he couldn't enter the mountain and he had to rush forward in one breath.
He did it, and he was indeed rushing forward in one breath.
There were all kinds of chaotic sounds ringing in his ears. It seemed that someone was screaming and screaming, and there seemed to be inexplicable voices crying and murmuring quietly. There seemed to be pairs of gentle hands dragging him. A sweet voice called to him: "Come on, Mr. Lang, come on..."
Yu Lin's blood was boiling all over his body, but he just closed his mouth tightly and ignored it.
However, hazily, two roads appeared in front of his eyes, one road went straight forward, and the other branched to the left.
Yu Lin's face was red and dazzled, and his whole body was hot. Without thinking, he whipped his riding whip and drove his horse forward at a gallop.
Herod——
The horses screamed and galloped with hoofs raised.
Yu Lin didn't notice that the direction started to deviate after the horse barked.
He thought the carriage was still rushing forward, but in fact the carriage was rushing towards the mountain next to it!
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Song Ciwan raised his hand and flicked it, and the breath-absorbing technique came out, and a wisp of finger wind hit the horse's head.
The horse was in pain and involuntarily raised its front hooves and turned back to the right path.
Song Ciwan moved her fingers again and made a gentle seal.
A wisp of blazing flames and the fire of the Heart Sutra of Samadhi True Fire shot out immediately, and the flame stretched in the air like a red ribbon, flowing like clouds and flowing water.
Suddenly there was a burning sound of "chichi" in the air, as well as a vague and indistinguishable scream of pain that was so weird that it was indescribable.
Yu Lin suddenly woke up and subconsciously opened his mouth to shout.
Another puff of air touched Yu Lin's throat gently, and Yu Lin's shouts were forced back into his throat.
He shut up tightly at that moment, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.
The wheels were rolling, the team was speeding, and Yu Lin drove the carriage back on the right track. He no longer dared to listen to the sounds around him, but just held the reins tightly and drove hard.
Yu Lin found that the road ahead didn't seem that difficult. In the hazy and dark sky, there was a little light guiding the way ahead.
Naturally, he didn't know that the reason why he felt this way was mainly because Song Ciwan continued to use the Blazing Flame Technique and the Fire of the Heart Sutra from behind.
In the carriage, Song Ciwan was sitting at the very door. Behind her, Aunt Jinhua hugged Achan tightly, covering her eyes with one hand and her mouth with the other. Both mother and daughter were trembling with fear.
But they also kept in mind the reminders of the escorts and did not turn their heads or shout.
The carriage was speeding, and they didn't need to rush. At least it was much better than those at the back who had to walk on their legs.
Song Ciwan also managed not to shout or look back.
Although she has some skills, she is not so arrogant that she ignores the reminders of the escorts.
There are many weird things in this world, and it’s best to remain in awe of things you don’t understand.
This Hanqiu Mountain felt very depressing to Song Ciwan. There seemed to be some indescribable taboo deep in the mountain, which must not be touched easily.
But it wasn't that Song Ciwan didn't do anything - the escorts only said they couldn't look back or talk, but they didn't say they couldn't set fire.
The head escort was leading the way by himself, his blood and energy all over his body were burning hot. Wherever he passed, there was also a strange burnt smell in the air.
Song Ciwan first tried to pop out the flames in small bursts. Later, when she popped out the flames again, the scales of heaven and earth appeared.
I collected a ball of Qi: [Scattered Mountain Charm and Ghost Essence, you can sell them for two or three coins. 】
Those invisible, intangible, disturbing things in the air are actually mountain spirits?
Once the mystery is revealed, it no longer seems so scary.
Song Ciwan set fires one after another, and the heaven and earth scales collected them one after another: [Scattered and disordered ghosts can be sold for one to two or five coins. 】
[Scattered, disorderly and violent things can be sold for three or two coins. 】
[The dead energy of the scattered mountain charm can be sold for two taels or one penny. 】
[Scattered and disordered Yin Qi, three liang or one coin, can be sold. 】
…
Song Ciwan's eyes brightened slightly, and she quietly increased the intensity of the fire.
A band of light formed by spiritual flames swayed in the hazy and dim mountain road.
When the people at the rear saw the fire ahead, those who reacted quickly immediately ran following the fire.
There were also those who couldn't restrain their excitement and shouted in surprise: "There is light over there, hurry up..."
Before he could finish his shout of surprise, the person suddenly fell down without a sound.
Some people learned their lesson and hurriedly covered their mouths and ran away, while others became more and more panicked and screamed again and again, creating more chaos.
In the mountains, there seemed to be melancholy shouts echoing in the ethereal space: "Come on, what's so good about the world? It's all mediocrity and sorrow, why not stay and share the pure spirit of the mountains with the slave family?"
"Stay, stay..."
"Hee hee hee……"
There seemed to be a figure faintly emerging among the hazy mountain shadows. He was dressed in rich clothes with big sleeves, his skin was pale, his head was in a high bun, and his lips were painted black.
He has a pair of platform shoes under his feet, and is shaking a golden fan in his hand. He looks light and ethereal, but also seems heavy and stiff.
She walked from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain in one step.
But she couldn't walk out of the line at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't walk on the road to the world. She could only look melancholy in the smoke, shake her fan and sigh.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but as if those chaotic words of reluctance were still in my ears, the sky in front of me suddenly lit up and the dark clouds dispersed.
The white candle in the head escort's hand burned out at this moment. He sighed softly and looked back.
The escorts behind him shouted loudly: "Hanqiu Mountain has passed! Everyone, take a rest for a while, Huailing City is not far ahead!"
