After hearing Hei Luer's words, His Highness and A Piao both expressed their helplessness. These martial arts students perfectly interpreted what it means to have a simple mind but underdeveloped limbs. They did everything based on impulse. No regard for consequences.
"Your Highness, Master Hei, don't you think the behavior of these five people is very abnormal?" A Piao stood up, looked at the charcoal basin, pulled the charcoal inside with a small stick, and said slowly, "Wangyue Cliff It is very famous. The entire Jin Kingdom knows this. They want to go to Wangyue Cliff to soak up the immortal spirit. I can completely understand this. But only the local people in Yiqing Prefecture know about the situation in the mountains behind Wangyue Cliff. Right? How do they know that the mountain behind Wangyue Cliff is very dangerous, and if they can come back with all their beards and tails intact, they can become famous?"
"Perhaps it was the waiter at the small inn where they stayed who said it?" His Highness frowned slightly, "After all, they are going to Wangyue Cliff, so they must be reminded not to be so curious and not to go to the back mountain, where it is more Danger or something like that.”
"It's not impossible." Ah Piao nodded and put down the stick in his hand, "But Your Highness, what would you do if you heard such advice? I'm curious, so I want to go to the back mountain." Should we find out what’s going on, or should we recharge our batteries and prepare for the next martial arts test?”
"Of course it's the martial arts test." His Highness chose the latter answer without hesitation, "The martial arts test is related to your future, and the back mountain of Wangyue Cliff won't run away on its own. It doesn't matter when you go to investigate. That’s okay, isn’t it?”
"Your Highness is right, this is the choice that most people will make, but these five people..." A Piao smiled faintly, "Why are they going against the choices of most people? Why did they give up their own future, What kind of adventure must they take at such a critical moment?" She spread her hands and said, "Or, they are not here to take the exam at all, their goal is Wangyue Cliff."
"No!" Hei Lu'er shook his head gently, "They are here to take the exam, but it does not conflict with their original goal of Wangyue Cliff. It is funny to say that they are also very persistent in the martial arts exam and have great responsibilities. Even though they were seriously injured, they still had to hold on to participate in the martial arts test. I saw them on the martial arts test stage with my own eyes. However, it was a pity that they stopped in the second round and failed to make it to the end."
"So that's it!" Ah Piao nodded, "So, the youngest one came to ask you for help, did you go?"
"Of course I went." Hei Luer nodded and pointed to the terrain map, "Your Highness, Lord Piao, come and see." Seeing the two people approaching, he pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "This is where we will stay. After exiting the inn, there is a mountain road leading to Wangyue Cliff. There are people walking on this road all year round, and it is not very dangerous. But when you reach the mountainside on this road, you will find a small road on the left. Fork in the road." He clicked lightly on the map halfway up the mountain, "It's right here, and this small fork in the road goes to the back mountain."
"Wait a minute." His Highness interrupted Hei Lu'er, "When we went to rescue them, were you and another person the only one?"
Available!
"Of course not." Hei Lu'er shook his head slightly, "I asked the innkeeper to report to the official, because many people go to Wangyue Cliff every day, so there is also a small group of soldiers stationed there."
"Yes." His Highness and Piao nodded at the same time, "So, you went with the garrison from that team?"
"Yes, after all, it's already dark, and that place is very dangerous. We don't want to make things worse, and we're not that stupid."
"Well done!" His Highness nodded, "You went from this path to the back mountain. What happened after that?"
"We should be thankful that the weather was good that day, with stars and moon, and neither wind nor rain. The child took us to the place where they had the accident. It should be..." Hei Lu'er sketched on the picture of painted a location, "In this place."
"This place?" His Highness looked at Ah Piao and then at the picture in Hei Luer's hand, "Based on our experience, this place shouldn't be that far away from that fork in the road, right?"
"It's estimated to be less than three miles, but because it was night, the road was indeed difficult to walk. We walked for half an hour." Hei Lu'er sighed, "Now that I think about it, I don't know if it was the kid who meant it. We took a difficult road, or that road was not easy to walk in the first place. Anyway, it did take more than half an hour to get there."
"If you're not familiar with the place, you probably didn't take a detour on purpose."
"Yes!" Hei Lu'er nodded, "That's what I thought at the time, but the small group of soldiers who were searching for people with us didn't raise any objections. Instead, they were used to it. I asked them about it and found out My worries are really unnecessary."
"Oh why?"
"They said that many people come to Wangyue Cliff every day. There are indeed very curious people who are especially willing to sneak to the back mountain. This is a road that most people are willing to choose." Hei Luer said helplessly. Shrugging, "Because this road is very obvious, and other paths are covered by weeds that grow up to the waist. And those who sneaked to the back of the mountain, without exception, got into trouble. The leader of the garrison still followed us He said, don't worry, they are used to it. There will always be several incidents in ten days, and they need to go to the back mountain to find someone."
"There are still a lot of idle and bored people, but what happens next? Are you found?"
"We found it. They were seeking their own death. When they reached the end of the road and found that there was no way to go, they had other thoughts." Hei Lu'er picked up the teacup and drank two sips of water to moisten his throat, " They were carrying flying tiger claws and wanted to use them to get down to the cliff. Unfortunately, one of them didn't pay attention, and the leader fell down. His brothers originally held him back, but they didn't know how. What happened, the other four fell together with the Flying Tiger Claw, and only the youngest child was left. The brothers of the team checked the situation at the scene, confirmed the child's statement, and comforted him, saying that they would definitely help him bring him home. The brothers found it."
"Are they so sure they can find it? Why?"
"Because there are many people who slip on rainy days. There is a large tree under that cliff. Those people who fall from this cliff will most likely fall on the tree crown." Hei Lu'er sighed softly, "Waiting for rescue. While those guys were spending time, I wandered around for a while. Now that I think about it, that place is about a hundred miles away from here..." He stretched out his hand and pointed at the cave marked with cinnabar on the painting, "It's very close, that is, about a hundred or so miles away. steps distance."
