Chapter 625 People from the Western Regions
The terrain of southern Xinjiang is complex, not just as simple as high mountains and long rivers.
For example, there was a mudslide just now. It should not have taken the three people much time to come out of the cave, so they should be very close to the scene of the incident.
However, in fact, from the current position of the three people, there is no trace of mudslide at all. The hillsides are like screens that completely block the view of a little further away.
Li Chengxi is not very willing to let Yang Yiyi come to southern Xinjiang. The main problem is the environment, and the hostility of the people in southern Xinjiang is secondary. There is really no sign at all.
However, since they know the direction, the three will soon return to the road, and maybe they can see the damage to the caravan and help save people.
It has just rained heavily, and snakes, insects, rats, ants and wild animals in the mountains have all hidden. Li Chengxi also specifically told the three people to be careful not to walk into areas with thick fallen leaves.
What exactly is miasma? Even in modern times, there are still many different opinions, but it is generally believed that miasma is a kind of toxic gas formed by a large amount of fallen leaves rotting and piling up together.
This thing is heavier than air, so it will linger under the trees. People who enter it will be poisoned or lack oxygen without knowing it.
So it is right to avoid places with thick fallen leaves.
Yang Yiyi and the others followed all the way here. In fact, no one had any experience in places like Southern Xinjiang. At most, Wu Shaoyi had heard of it, so they were all very cautious.
The main reason was that the rumors were too weird. Many people said that Southern Xinjiang was a dragon's den and a tiger's lair where you could not get out once you entered it. I don't know if the locals spread the rumors because they were afraid of the invasion of people from the Central Plains.
In this case, the three people did not move forward quickly. On the one hand, it was for safety, and on the other hand, it was really difficult to walk.
The terrain here often changes dramatically without warning, and previous outdoor travel experience is completely useless.
For example, in the Central Plains, you see the ground in the distance starting to rise too high, and you can tell at a glance that there is a hillside ahead.
In southern Xinjiang, the slopes in some places are almost straight up and down, and the changes are without warning. In addition, the dense vegetation blocks the view. You have to pay attention to your feet at all times, lest you think you are going uphill, but end up rolling down with one foot.
According to the guidance of the astrological disk, the three people climbed over the mountains and ridges in the woods and walked for nearly two hours.
On the way, they also ate some dry food to fill their stomachs and rested for a while.
At this time, the three people were still relatively optimistic. They hadn't seen the road yet, so it should be difficult to walk in the mountains and forests, and their movement speed was too slow.
But after walking for another two hours, the three people vaguely realized that something was wrong.
The three people walked out of the cave for an hour before coming out of the cave and returning in the original direction. No matter how difficult the mountain road was, it had been four hours, and there was no trace of mudslides, let alone the original road.
With the astrological disk, the direction should be correct, and the three people were sure that they had remembered where to go correctly, but what was going on?
Trapped in a maze?
However, Li Chengxi, who had been paying attention to their situation, opened the map function and told the three that their route was a little skewed. If they continued in the current direction, they would definitely pass by the place where the mudslide occurred.
The direction would not be particularly accurate, which was expected. After all, Yang Yiyi and Viola were in two different planes, and the starry sky would be somewhat different. The star disk that relied on the stars to guide the direction would also have some deviations, but it was still within an acceptable range.
Since Li Chengxi said that the direction was fine, the three of them were relieved and continued to move forward.
Until the three of them climbed over a hillside, Qin Yan was about to climb up a tree to look around to determine the specific location.
At this time, Yang Yiyi, who was walking in the front and clearing the way, suddenly lowered her body and whispered:
"There are people in front, but they don't look like people from the Central Plains. Hide quickly."
Qin Yan hid behind the tree trunk and it was done. Wu Shaoyi was a bit troublesome, after all, the wheelchair was not very flexible. She simply pushed the wheelchair into the bushes and hid in it with a single eye.
Just after hiding, I saw two people wearing straw raincoats passing by in the woods about ten meters away. Judging from their figures, they should be men, with swords on their waists, and one of them was using a sword to chop vines and bushes that blocked the road.
At first glance, they looked like people from southern Xinjiang passing by here, and maybe they could ask them for directions.
But when the two people turned around, Qin Yan and Wu Shaoyi noticed that the two people did not look like people from southern Xinjiang, but rather like people from the Western Regions.
Yang Yiyi always remembered what Li Chengxi said, that people from southern Xinjiang might have some secret dealings with people from the Western Regions, and it might also be related to the Sky-supporting Stone, so she had to be more careful when she met them.
So when Yang Yiyi saw the appearance of the two people, the three words "Tianlang Cult" immediately popped up in her mind.
Because they discovered them in advance, the three people hid in time, and the two people who passed by did not notice any movement. They kept looking around and passed in front of the three people, and gradually walked away.
Judging from the direction, it seemed to be heading northwest, which was exactly the opposite direction that Yang Yiyi and the others were going.
When the two walked a little further away, Yang Yiyi turned around and said:
"Brother Li said that the people of the Western Regions might be colluding with the people of the Southern Xinjiang region. Those two people with Western-looking faces might be from the Tianlang Cult."
What Ning Xian'er and the others wanted to investigate was whether there was any connection between the people of the Southern Xinjiang region and the people of the Western Regions. Qin Yan immediately replied when she heard this:
"Maybe we can find some clues by following them. Let's go and follow them."
According to Jiao Wenlong, the Jianghu people who passed by Xiashan Town should have gone to Fenghuang Village now, and the three of them are also on their way to Fenghuang Village.
But when Jiao Wenlong said this, it was already ten days ago. By the time Yang Yiyi and the others rushed over, they might have already moved to another place.
Southern Xinjiang is large and the terrain is complex, which is more difficult than finding someone in the Central Plains.
So change your mindset. Instead of following Ning Xianer and the others' whereabouts, it is better to find the Tianlang Sect directly from the source. Anyway, Ning Xianer and the others will eventually find the Tianlang Sect.
Do it as you think of it, the three of them quickly chased after the Tianlang Sect members who were walking away.
Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi made a lot of noise, so Qin Yan, who was the best at light work and the most skilled at silent movement, followed closely behind. The two of them continued to chase after Qin Yan's mark.
They chased all the way until it was dark, and Qin Yan turned around to find Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi to lead the way. The three of them walked to the edge of the woods and saw a broken mountain wall not far ahead.
Below the mountain wall, on a not-so-steep slope, there is an inconspicuous cave.
But if you look closely, you will find that there is a fine smoke coming out of the cave, as if someone lives inside.
The current position is facing the cave from the side, and although the view is good, the situation in the cave cannot be seen clearly.
So the three of them moved their positions again, and now they can vaguely see the light of fire coming from the cave, as if there are several figures.
The good news is that there are not many people, and only five or six have been seen so far.
The bad news is that they seem to plan to stay here overnight and not leave.
This is very difficult to deal with.
