Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 160 Six: The Way Out

"What's going on here?" Le Wuyi asked in surprise. The flowing water seemed to be boiling, but the temperature was not high. More green lights rose from the water, making the entire cave shimmer like stars in the night sky.

Those green lights that were originally floating in the air seemed to be sensed, and they slid towards the giant pillar like a meteor, and entered in a flash.At the same time, light silk ribbons gradually emerged in the green pillars, undulating and swaying as if floating in the water.Then came the jet-black long hair that fluttered away, rippling with the waves.

Someone in the pillar?

Le Wuyi was watching the green pillar change, but when he blinked, he suddenly found that he had kneeled on the stone path at some point.

There was a dull pain in the knee, and for a moment, Le Wuyi broke out in a cold sweat.When did this happen?How did he kneel down?He was clearly standing upright just a moment ago.

Le Wuyi tried hard to raise his head, and suddenly found that Shen Ye and the others did the same - knelt down on one knee to show his sincerity.In such a weird scene, for some reason, Le Wuyi couldn't bear the consciousness of resistance.Just thinking about it like this made me startled again.It was like a subconscious reaction, completely convinced, the body acted instinctively.

Le Wuyi wanted to turn his eyes back to the green pillar, there was a soft light shining there, but his eyes felt so stinging, and he had to look away after just one glance.

Staring at the scorching sun with naked eyes was nothing more than that, and in the blink of an eye, Le Wuyi's eyes became bloodshot.

Xia Yi beside him suddenly grabbed Le Wuyi's hand, and Le Wuyi carefully turned his head to look, only to see Xia Yi staring at the ground with a serious expression on his face.Just holding the hand, its strength is extremely great.

It is comfort, but also worry.

Le Wuyi pursed her lips, and stopped looking at the green pillar, just like Xia Yi, her eyes were only on the stone road in front of her.

If Le Wuyi is subconsciously submissive, then Xie Yi and Shen Ye are no different.It's just that they took one more look than Le Wuyi, and with that one look, they saw the snake tail appearing in the green pillar.

With a snake-tailed body and such a holy aura, they couldn't think of anyone else except that one person.Therefore, when Xie Yi and Shen Ye knelt down, they were more sincere.

Regardless of the past, the human race in this world originated from this person after all, and due respect is essential.

The nine waterways were boiling, and the four of them only felt that the surrounding greenery was more prosperous, while the direction of the green column gradually calmed down.It was just the vigilance from the body that prevented the four of them from raising their heads at will.

Finally, the flowing water returned to calm.But at this time, the four of them were covered with green light, shining brightly, and they were covered with thick green clothes—the coercion in front of them disappeared.

Did the goddess appear just now?Shen Ye couldn't be sure, he just lowered his head and said in a sincere tone: "The Lieshan Clan, the bereaved family of Shennong, has to disturb the goddess's sleep at a time when life is in danger, please forgive me."

There was silence ahead.

There was a sound of "Kabo", but the water flow around him made a sound.

Xie Yi looked at Shen Ye, seeing the other party nodding in agreement, he respectfully bowed forward and stood up slowly.

After standing up, Xie Yi was surprised to find that at some time, the nine waterways were covered with treasures of various colors.Necklaces inlaid with huge gemstones, golden scepters, and various kinds of exquisitely carved jade, mixed with countless brocade boxes that have not been opened, are full without leaving any gaps.

Each of these nine waterways is about two feet wide, not to mention the length, if it is filled with funerary objects, what an astronomical figure it would be.Xie Yi turned a blind eye to so many gold, silver and jade stones, and just followed the place where the sound was made just now to find it. Then, he saw a familiar wooden brocade box—the Liuyue City Brocade Box with the key in it.

Against the background of many colorful treasures, this brocade box looks so simple and conspicuous.But even so, it is too easy to find it among the many brocade boxes.

It was so easy, as if the owner of the tomb had actively prompted it, or in other words, it was sent by the owner of the tomb himself.

Xie Yi didn't say much, just squatted down and pulled out the brocade box.At a glance, he saw a few small porcelain bottles beside the brocade box, judging from the shape, they seemed to be medicines.

Xie Yi's mind turned and he immediately thought of Huang Jue.

Is this the...

Xie Yi subconsciously moved his hand to the porcelain bottle, and Shen Ye, who was always watching his movements, immediately interrupted: "Xie Yi!"

With a light drink, Xie Yi regained consciousness.

Xie Yi looked back, and saw Shen Ye saying with a blank expression: "We are here for the Lieshan tribe, for the survival of the Lieshan tribe. The life and death of others should also be fought for by themselves."

This is the meaning of not allowing Xie Yi to intervene.

Thinking of Huang Jue who was willing to take risks for his son, Xie Yi thought for a while, and finally withdrew his hand with a sigh.

Putting away the brocade box that Xie Yi handed over, Shen Ye held the other's hand firmly, fearing that his heart would soften for a moment and do something stupid for others.You must know that apart from this brocade box, there is nothing belonging to their Lie Shan tribe.The goddess is kind, but that doesn't mean she's willing to be stolen from what belongs to her.

Of course, maybe the goddess is very generous, but who can guarantee this possibility?

Signaling Xia Yi to stand up with Le Wuyi, Shen Ye once again bowed to the green pillar: "Thank you, goddess, for your help."

After finishing speaking, I saw that there was an extra jade gate on the green pillar at some point, because I didn't dare to look directly at it before, so I didn't notice it.The figure inside the pillar disappeared long ago, only this gate was extremely conspicuous.

The statue of Fuxi and Nuwa is still engraved on this jade gate, which is crystal clear and clean, and the place where the two gods hold hands is the doorknob.

"Is this the exit?" Le Wuyi whispered, "What is Goddess thinking?"

Le Wuyi didn't continue, but the four people present understood.This green pillar should be the place where the goddess sleeps, and the sleep of the gods is not allowed to be disturbed. How can such a place open the door to the outside world?

Could it be a test of their courage?

But why bother?Shen Ye hesitated for a moment.

Green light spots danced around the four of them again, some circled in the cave, and some floated away through the passageway when the four of them came.

Shen Ye thought for a while, and finally said: "Let's go back." Rather than offending the goddess, it's better to walk along the way we came.Even if the previous path has not been discovered, since they can come here, they can naturally go back to the original place.

"Alright." Xie Yi nodded.

"Then this door..." Le Wuyi hesitated, "Leave it alone?"

The four looked at each other, and Xia Yi suddenly said, "I'll do it."

"Yi Ze?"

But Xia Yi carefully took out the soul-calling flag, he stepped forward and stopped not far from Yumen, folded the soul-calling flag neatly, and placed it in the middle of the road.

At first glance, the soul-calling banners with countless green lights condensed along the way, looked like a flash of light, extremely beautiful.

Seeing this, Shen Ye slightly raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

Xia Yi bowed and retreated, and together with Shen Ye and the other three, bowed again.It can be said that this is the only time they have been so respected since they went to the ground.

Xu was transformed by sincerity, and at the moment when the four of them turned around, a ray of sunlight suddenly shot in from the corridor.

The four of them were still in the cave, but originally there was only green light floating in the corridor, now the sun was shining brightly.They saw the green grass and shrubs, the sunlight streaming from the leaves to the ground, and the surging pines where the wind blows.

This time, even Shen Ye couldn't hide his surprise.Looking at the summoning flag placed not far from the gate, he didn't say anything after all.

"Thank you, Goddess." Shen Ye took the lead in saying thanks for the last time, "Let's go."

The four of them didn't look back, and behind them, there was a vague sight of seeing each other off, looking at each other from a distance, vaguely absent.

The moment he stepped out of the cave, the sound of birdsong suddenly rang in his ears.Looking into the distance, surrounded by endless greenery, but looking behind, it is a dusty wing——the wing of the dilapidated small temple.

"Huh?" Le Wuyi, who was walking at the end, suddenly turned around. The cave behind him had indeed become a wing of a ruined temple. Didn't the threshold under his feet be trampled by himself because of decay?

"Why did we come back here?" Le Wuyi was startled, "Really?"

Xie Yi walked up to the stone statue, looking at the still dilapidated stone statue and the sawdust in the lobby, his mood also fluctuated: "It is indeed the temple from before."

Why did you come back here in the blink of an eye?

Goddess help?

It seems that this is the only reason.

I don't know if the "pie" that fell from the sky is too huge, but it makes Shen Ye and the others feel unrealistic.

Xia Yi, on the other hand, was thoughtful. The soul-calling banner must have played a vital role.Thinking of the man he had seen before, he suddenly felt that he owed him a lot.

Perhaps, there is no chance to pay it back.

Just like that, they returned to the original place inexplicably, and the four of them didn't know whether to cry or laugh. After turning around, Le Wuyi suddenly said, "By the way, where are the rest of the Huang family?"

When they set off, there were still Huang family members staying here, but looking at the ruined temple covered with a layer of dust, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like anyone lived here.

Could it be that those people thought they were all folded in the tomb, so they all went back?

It is not impossible.

Thinking of Huang Jue who might still be struggling in the tomb, Xie Yi shook his head, then smiled and said, "If you think about it this way, we will have to rely on ourselves for the rest of the journey."

"Isn't it?" Le Wuyi cried out.One must know that they came here by hitchhiking from Huang's family before, but now that they leave, do they have to go out of the mountain on foot?

At this moment, Le is no different from infinite resentment.

No way, this mountain still has to go out, it's just a matter of time.

Le Wuyi sighed, pulled Xia Yi and walked away, but Shen Ye stopped beside Xie Yi, his eyes full of deep meaning.

"Aye?"

"Has the injury healed?" Shen Ye asked.

Didn't you ask before?Even so, Xie Yi still replied truthfully: "Not yet healed, but..." Just as he was about to say that he was walking without hindrance, a glint of joy flashed in Shen Ye's eyes, and in the next blink, Xie Yi was suddenly hugged by Shen Ye chest.

There are many inconveniences in the mausoleum, but now it is okay.

Xie Yi blinked, his face turned red immediately after he realized it, and he struggled to ask, "A Ye, what are you doing?"

Shen Ye regained his righteousness: "As you can see. Since the injury hasn't healed, it's better to be careful." The words were righteous, but the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

Xie Yi didn't want to be carried away like this, he didn't do that in the tomb, and it was a public (?), so he naturally didn't want to: "What nonsense!"

As soon as the words came out, Shen Ye's eyebrows frowned: "Nonsense?" His expression became serious, and his tone became serious, as if Xie Yi was the one who made the mistake.

Angry?

As soon as Shen Ye put on an angry posture, Xie Yi's courage was like a burst balloon, and he couldn't say anything in an instant.

only……

Looking at Le Wuyi who stopped with a curious face, and Shen Ye who looked displeased, Xie Yi was extremely helpless, and finally buried his head in Shen Ye's chest as if he had given up on himself, and came out of nowhere.

Think it is because of the inconvenience of the calf, Xie Yi comforted himself like this.

Facing Shen Ye, he will always be the one who suffers.

Shen Ye frowned, satisfied that Xie Yi's ears were red, and he strode away.

Seeing the embarrassment of the master, the obedient apprentice Le Wuyi quit: "Well, Grand Master..." He just opened his mouth, but Xia Yi turned him around first: "Wuyi, let's go first."

"But……"

"No buts."

"But Master, he..."

"Why," Xia Yi stopped, and looked at Le Wuyi with a smile on his face, "Wuyi, are you envious?"

Seeing Xia Yize smiling, for some reason, Le Wuyi hesitated: "No, Yize, this is your illusion."

Looking at Xie Yi who was being hugged by the princess again, the villain in Le Wuyi's heart burst into tears: Master, this disciple is useless, I can't save you QAQ

There is no means of transportation, but fortunately the nearest road is not too far away, the four of them spent half a day going out of the mountain, and after a while, they met an urban and rural bus and rushed to the nearest small town.

Because the driver was present, the four who finally calmed down could not discuss what they saw in the tomb.Therefore, Le Wuyi can only chat with the driver about some things.

But when Le Wuyi happily chatted with the driver about the local conditions and customs on this side, the driver's words were full of confusion: "The village? What are you kidding, young man? Where is the village here?"

"what?"

"I've been running back and forth for more than 20 years, and the nearest village is ten miles away from here." The driver laughed, "Young man, if you want to scare people, you have to use another method."

Following the driver's words, the mountains that hide the sand hills gradually moved away, hiding in the vast white mist, and could no longer be seen.

The author has something to say: "Desert City" is finally (actually impatient) over, it's not easy _(:зゝ∠)_
