Apprentice: I live in Xuanjie, from nine to five

Chapter 27: Up the Mountain Alone

Xia Wan'er looked dazed, and her dazed look was a little cute.

At this moment, Ye Chen's expression became serious, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

I thought it was a simple illusion, and wanted them to suffer before going to rescue them.But now nothing happened to them...

There must be something wrong!
Ye Chen asked Ruan Xingfei, "What's wrong with you?"

Ruan Xingfei thought for a moment, her expression was quite serious, and she began to say: "Before they went up the mountain, you said that there are illusions on the mountain, and all the peak masters and disciples laughed at your nonsense, especially the disciples of Qi Hanfeng and Li Fengzhu. , even more mercilessly, directly ridiculing you."

"Now that they have gone up the mountain, they haven't found anything unusual. It stands to reason that apart from complaining about our delay and telling us to hurry up the mountain, they will continue to laugh at you for making mistakes in judgment."

"When the available bronze mirror was passed on to us, the peak masters only urged us to go up the mountain, and the rest of the disciples only echoed the urging and did not laugh at us."

Ye Chen nodded, and said, "That's right, just now I heard only urging from the disciples around me, without any sarcasm, it's not normal."

"Hearing what senior sister said, it seems to be like this." Xia Wan'er rubbed her head, looking very serious.

"Presumably you have heard of tigers working as minions?" Ye Chen said coldly, he had already noticed the problem.

Xia Wan'er shook her head, the twin ponytails on her head swayed slightly, and looked at Ye Chen with ignorant eyes.

Ruan Xingfei explained for Ye Chen: "It is said that there is a vicious tiger on a certain mountain, and those who are eaten by it will turn their souls into ghosts and lure others into the mountain to be eaten by the tiger."

When Xia Wan'er heard this, she looked at the bronze mirror that Yuan Qing handed her, and suddenly felt a chill down her back.

He stammered and said: "Master, you mean...they... have become the ghosts that the senior sister said?"

"The meaning is the same. They have lost their minds under the influence of illusion in this mountain, and now they want to lure us into the mountain..."

"It's so scary..." Xia Wan'er hurriedly threw the bronze mirror to the ground.

Things suddenly became serious.

Ye Chen originally thought that the mountain was at best an illusion that people couldn't get out of, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

"Then what should we do now?" Ruan Xingfei asked.

Ye Chen looked solemn, and carefully instructed: "Now I'm going up the mountain to bring them out. Before I come back, no matter what you hear or see, don't respond."

"They didn't listen to the advice and laughed at you, and now they are going to take the risk to save them?" Ruan Xingfei asked in bewilderment with a surprised face.

This Ye Chen is quite broad-minded.

If you change yourself, you won't care about their life and death.

"After all, they are brothers from the same sect, and it's normal for them to not be able to understand these things with their naked eyes."

Ye Chen thought it was just an ordinary illusion, and wanted them to suffer for not listening to advice. Now there seems to be more terrifying monsters in this mountain than he imagined.

Ye Chen naturally wanted to go and find out.

"Master, take me!" Xia Wan'er grabbed Ye Chen's clothes.

"You two are not cultivated enough, so you should wait for me here."

……

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he went into the mountain alone.

At noon, it is the time when the sun is at its maximum.

But the sunlight in Nanman is very weak, it seems that it can't shine into the lush forest.

The mountain was shrouded in mist, and it was a bit shady. Ye Chen walked up the mountain along a path that was neither wide nor narrow.

As time went by, the mountain fog became thicker, and when Ye Chen reached the halfway up the mountain, he couldn't see the road ahead at all.

The fog was everywhere, and Ye Chen looked around, feeling confused for a while.

He was about to think of a way to make the fog recede, but unexpectedly, a girl's clear and sweet voice sounded in the thick fog, interrupting him.

"Son!"

"So fast." Ye Chen muttered with the corner of his mouth raised.Thinking that the monster in the mountain appeared, luck was ready to kill the monster directly.

"Son!"

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked in the fog.

"Ordinary people?" Ye Chen quickly stopped.

The girl in front of her was disheveled, her clothes were ragged, and she was skinny.Her breath is very normal, just an ordinary mortal.

"My lord..." The girl suddenly knelt at Ye Chen's feet and began to cry.

Ye Chen quickly helped her up.

The tears in the girl's eyes wet the dust on her face, and she wiped it off with her hands.

A delicate and moving face appeared in front of Ye Chen. Her skin was as white as a white lotus blooming in the mud, which made people unable to move their eyes away.

Ye Chen looked him up and down, and became even more puzzled.

Where does the beauty come from in this barren mountain?

"My lord, please don't go any further..." the girl begged.

Her eyes were crystal clear, and there were still some tiny teardrops hanging on her slender eyelashes, she looked very pitiful.

The more Ye Chen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and scolded: "Who are you, why are you blocking my way?"

Ye Chen's scolding made the girl stunned, and then said falteringly, "There are monsters eating people in this mountain..."

"Since there are monsters, why are you staying here?" Ye Chen asked back.

I really think he is a fool...

"The little girl passed by here with her father because her family was migrating. Unexpectedly, she encountered a mountain demon and her father was eaten. I escaped by chance, but I have nowhere to go..."

The girl immediately covered her face and wept.

"So you stayed here to remind passers-by not to go up the mountain?" Ye Chen was dubious.

"Yes, sir, please don't go any further, just leave quickly."

Ye Chen tentatively said: "Since this mountain is so dangerous, you are alone, why not come down the mountain with me, I will take you back to the city, how about finding an errand for you?"

The girl's eyes were full of sadness, she shook her head, and said softly: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, I have lost my parents, and I have no hope in this life. Why don't I stay here and remind the people who go up the mountain, so that they don't suffer like me. Harmful."

"I can't see that you, an ordinary weak woman, still have such a heart." Ye Chen was amazed.

"Young master is too famous..." The girl lowered her head and said again, "Young master, please go down the mountain quickly."

Ye Chen turned his eyes and came up with a plan, and then made it up, and said: "I am a disciple of Lingxu Mountain. I have traveled all over the world. I saw that this place is full of evil spirits, so I came here to collect evil spirits. Don't worry, girl."

Unexpectedly, the girl cried and laughed strangely, and didn't take Ye Chen's words seriously.

"Today, a group of people also told you how capable they are, and they insisted on going into the mountain despite the advice, and now there are probably no bones left."

The group of people in the girl's mouth are the peak masters and their disciples of Beiming Holy Land.

After hearing the girl's words, Ye Chen smiled unconsciously and said, "I'm different from them, girl, don't underestimate me."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand, his whole body exuded a golden light, and the heavy fog in the sky suddenly dissipated.
