Chapter 374 Qishan trip
You don’t need to ask. Those killers must have committed suicide when they learned of the failure.
"Is it the person sent by Queen Gaochang?"
Feng Lisheng nodded, "Those people have been planted with Gu, but even if a dead man like this is caught, he won't be able to ask questions."
He just needs to be sure who sent this group of people.
What did Shen Mingjiao think of? Question: "You just said that there is something hallucinogenic in the valley, what is it?"
"I don't know either. I was in a hurry to come back and didn't look carefully,"
Shen Mingjiao recounted the contents of Feng Shuo's letter just now, "Since that stone has hallucinogenic effects, is it possible that that kind of stone was also placed in the valley you mentioned?"
Feng Lisheng frowned, feeling more and more that the saintess was acting strangely, and what Shen Mingjiao said was that the other party's domesticated female spies were sent to the back houses of officials, wealthy businessmen and celebrities.
I don't know how many people have been controlled in the corners they can't see.
The enemy is hiding in the dark, and they must speed up their progress to force the opponent to show their feet.
When the sun was about to set, a group of people came to Qishan. Qishan Mountain is one of the largest mountains in the Great Xia Kingdom, second only to Kunlun Mountain, and almost runs through the entire Qin land. It is also said that there is a large swamp miasma in the deep mountain, so it is obvious that someone has set foot in the deep mountain.
Gu Danxue was amazed by the scenery in front of her. At this time, the sun was setting and the setting sun was like blood, shining on the rolling mountains with no end in sight, giving people a sense of ethereal atmosphere.
She looked up at the dim and towering mountain wall, and unconsciously said with emotion:
"It's a pity that my drawing skills are not good. Otherwise, I can draw the beautiful scenery in front of me."
Xing Qi subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to agree, but in the end he just pursed his lips and didn't look back.
He cheered up and looked at Feng Lisheng: "Please also ask the young master to lead the way."
"Okay, let's go first."
The road ahead is not suitable for horseback riding, so a group of people dismounted and walked slowly. The main reason is to accommodate the speed of Shen Mingjiao and the two of them.
This section of the road is really difficult, Shen Mingjiao and the two are struggling to follow behind the group of people. Gu Danxue whispered apologetically:
"Madam actually doesn't have to follow."
Shen Mingjiao smiled indifferently: "I've come here, I have to go up and see for myself."
After finishing speaking, he crossed a low **** with difficulty.
Ming stepped forward impatiently, hugged Shen Mingjiao's waist, and with a few light moves, he crossed several thorn bushes in the blink of an eye.
She is nearly seven feet tall, and she likes to wear black clothes. Shen Mingjiao is held in her arms. Seen from the back, she seems inexplicably harmonious.
Feng Lisheng who was stretching out his hand: "..."
Ming turned around and urged Feng Lisheng and the others, "What are you doing in a daze, lead the way!"
Feng Lisheng: "..." He stared at the other party's big hand covering his princess' waist.
Back then, Mingzhi was left behind to point her to protect Shen Mingjiao personally, not to let her compete with him for the princess.
Gu Danxue was left at the end. She stepped carefully over the vine-wrapped haystack, and accidentally stepped on a piece of moss, almost slipping.
The sleeve was pulled by someone, and a powerful big hand pulled her arm forward. Through the clothes, she could clearly feel the temperature of the slender fingertips.
Gu Danxue turned his head and looked up at the familiar figure who had been facing each other day and night for more than a month. Pursing her lips, she whispered, "Finally you don't avoid me anymore!"
The young man beside him did not make a sound. The hand that only held her arm was tighter.
The group continued to walk forward, and Xing Qi always supported her steadily, so that she no longer needed to be cautious in every step she took.
Gu Danxue touched her arm: "You... are you okay! Is there any discomfort?"
Xing Qi suppressed the burning heat in his chest, and shook his head as if nothing had happened: "It's okay."
…
A group of people stopped on the edge of a very steep cliff, standing on the top of the cliff, except for the road behind them, one step forward is the abyss, the kind that will definitely smash you to pieces.
But he saw Feng Lisheng standing on the edge of the cliff, and then raised his foot into the void without hesitation, as if he wanted to jump off.
Rao Shen Mingjiao knew that the cliff in front of her might have another mystery, but she was also shocked by the scene in front of her and broke into a cold sweat. If it wasn't for the floating light to stop her, she would almost rush over and grab him.
However, at the next moment, Feng Lisheng didn't fall, and still stood motionless on the edge of the cliff.
Xing Qi let go of Gu Danxue's wrist, stepped forward, looked at it for a while, then drew out his sword, and cut off an unremarkable vine hanging down to the bottom of the cliff,
In an instant, the surrounding scene changed, the original steep cliff disappeared, replaced by a large flat hillside, the **** was messy with weeds, but four trails were neatly distributed.
Shen Mingjiao pointed to the four roads, and guessed: "Is there only one road to life, and the other three are dead roads?"
She thought that if this is the case, the chance of picking one out of four doesn't seem to be very difficult.
Feng Lisheng shook his head, pointing to the messy weeds and gravel on the ground, "No, if you can't find the correct order of these stones. No matter which one of these four roads you take, it will be a dead end."
Gu Danxue asked weakly: "Then if you choose the wrong one, what will happen?"
Ming twirled his long knife boredly, "It's needless to say? If I guessed correctly. The cliff that just appeared is the real scene. Now this is just an illusion created by the Qimen formation. Before the formation is broken, no matter what No matter which way you go, you will really fall into the cliff."
Xing Qi stared at the messy grass and gravel on the ground seriously. Thoughts have drifted away.
This formation is called the Thousand Changes Formation, and it was created by the master in his spare time.
He was thrown into the pack of wolves for a day and a night, and there was no intact flesh on his body. After waking up, the master was extremely patient with him and gave him the best healing medicine.
At that time, he only had hatred, wishing to kill the other party. The master just looked at him with a faint smile, as if looking at a child having a temper tantrum.
He was pushed out of the courtyard by his servants. The sun was shining brightly, but he couldn't feel any warmth at all.
"I am in a good mood today as a teacher, and I will teach you a set of formations to pass the time. But look after it, I will only teach you once as a teacher."
He thought to himself at the time, since he wanted to kill this person, he had to learn all the skills of the other person. Just like what is written in the book, Gou Jian tried hard for several years and finally killed King Wuyue.
So he studied very seriously, halfway through the formation, the master asked him:
"The great thing about this thousand-change formation is that there are many ways to break the formation. Even if the master of the formation does not know the correct arrangement, he can only forcefully destroy it. Xiaoqi, I don't know what word you want to set, and the symbols can also be used. .”
Seeing that he turned his face away and said nothing, the master asked patiently again:
"Then what is Xiaoqi's most wanted thing?"
He turned his head, his tone was weak and mocking:
"I'm very cold right now, can Master have a way to warm me up?"
After he finished speaking, it was obvious that Master's face paused, and his snow-white eyebrows drooped.
However, that was only for a moment, the master continued to ask him with a smile: "Xiao Qi is looking for a sweetheart? A woman who loves you wholeheartedly and can warm your heart?"
He didn't speak, but still looked at him mockingly,
Master pretended not to see it.
"If you are lucky enough to meet such a woman in the future, you have to protect her well,
If she is unwilling, you must not force it! Know how to let go when necessary..." The last sentence was said very lightly, obviously touching some bad memories.
He sneered: "There's so much nonsense, isn't it because people didn't like you?"
He touched his body that was cold because of the heavy injury, and thought to himself, if there is such a person. He will only tie people firmly to his side, even if he uses all means and schemes.
Let go, fulfillment, heh! what is that?
Withdrawing his thoughts, he looked at the girl standing silently behind him, and smiled wryly in his heart.
Facts have proved that Master's teaching is indeed successful.
He quickly changed his pace on the weedy slope, the sword energy swept across, and the weeds broke.
Not long after, all the weed paths on the **** disappeared. In front of me was a barren steep slope. A few tens of feet away from the steep **** was the cliff I saw at the beginning, and there was a hidden path on the other side of the steep slope.
What you see in front of you is the original appearance after the formation is removed.
There are some messy broken stones piled up on the slope, which looks like the word "heart" upon closer inspection.
A guard on the side asked curiously: "Does this word have any meaning?"
Xing Qi lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I don't know, the master must be fooling around!"
Feng Lisheng glanced at several people: "Since the formation is solved, let's continue walking!" After saying that, he took the lead to walk to the hidden path.
The group walked for a long time, and the night gradually darkened. During the period, they encountered several formations, but Xing Qi was there.
Shen Mingjiao leaned on Feng Lisheng's back, and asked: "It's been more than an hour now! How long will it take?"
Among the group, she and Gu Danxue were really weak women. After walking for less than half an hour, the two of them couldn't hold on physically.
Feng Lisheng is behind his back. But it was not affected at all, walking fast and steadily. "It should be soon. If you are tired, you can lean on my back and sleep."
Nearly an hour later, through the light of the torch, it seemed to see the shadows of rows of houses in the distance, and a suspension bridge in front of it.
Feng Lisheng glanced at the height of the suspension bridge, and said to Shen Mingjiao who was rubbing his eyes: "I will take Tie Zhu and others up, and you and Miss Gu will stay behind."
Shen Mingjiao had no objection, and signaled Feng Lisheng to put her down. Not to mention that it is not easy for her and Gu Danxue to go up the suspension bridge, and no one knows what the situation is, so it would be a burden for them to follow.
Gu Danxue got off Xing Qi's back and lightly poked his arm: "How about... you can go together too, don't worry about me, are there Madam and the others?"
Xing Qizhi said: "You also need someone to protect you."
…
Feng Lisheng led the people to climb up the suspension bridge, and as far as he could see, there was a rolling village.
Tie Zhu listened carefully and sighed in disappointment. "It seems that we are still one step late."
Although they didn't get close, but in such a large village, there are people and no one can still feel it.
"Let's go and have a look first!"
As early as the moment Master Fan was exposed, Feng Lisheng had expected it. After all, the prince has always been meticulous and careful in his actions. When the matter of King Yu was reported back to Beijing, he would definitely make arrangements in advance just in case.
It takes time for a credible letter to come and go. Even if everyone evacuates, there will be traces left in haste.
A group of people walked up to it, but there was no one there. Tie Zhu looked at the three-entry courtyard in the middle, frowned and said, "Why do I feel that this place is not at all like a place dedicated to training private soldiers, but like..."
"Bandit Den!"
Feng Lisheng answered the sentence calmly.
Tie Zhu was stunned: "Could it be that we've found the wrong place, but it's not right either!"
Feng Lisheng ignored him, and walked into one of the yards. The yard was moved very empty, without leaving any traces. Feng Lisheng casually wiped the dust on the door with a handkerchief, and couldn't help frowning. According to the dust cobwebs in the yard, no one lived here for at least two or three months. The timeline obviously doesn't match up.
