The Secret of the Reborn Shadowguard

Chapter 69 The Mystery of the Strange Forest

"You, you, why did you pass that dense forest so quickly?!" Xiao Lin opened his eyes wide, pointed at Gu Yan who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his voice pierced through the sky.

He and his elder brother sent this man outside the dense forest yesterday, why he has already returned to the clan today, it must be because he just woke up in the morning and he is not awake yet, it must be.He wants to go back and sleep again, just wake up again, Xiao Lin nodded and walked towards his house.

Gu Yan picked out his ears, he just didn't want to cause too much shock, so he came directly to Xiao Li's room door, was about to go in, but bumped into Xiao Lin who had just gone out.Well now, everyone knows it.

When Xiao Qi heard his younger brother's voice, he rushed over immediately. When he saw Xiao Lin's distraught back and Gu Yan who was nodding towards him in front of him, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled very clearly, "Gu Yan The young master is indeed very powerful."

"Master Gu, wait a moment, I'll report to the patriarch right away." Xiao Lin cupped his hands as he spoke, and was about to turn around and enter the room to report, but only heard Xiao Li's voice from inside the room.

"Let him in." Xiao Li's voice sounded very calm, but it was hard to conceal the eagerness in it. When Gu Yan heard it, he smiled clearly and stepped into the door.

Seeing Gu Yan enter the house, Xiao Qi closed the door and dragged his younger brother who he thought was in a dream to leave.Mr. Gu really passed the second hurdle as he thought, but he didn't know whether he could succeed in the third hurdle that no one had ever broken through.

When Gu Yan walked into the room, he saw Xiao Li sitting upright in front of him. There was no other expression on his face, but the slightly twitching corners of his mouth and stiff facial muscles made Gu Yan feel joy in his heart. Well, is he really that good? Take his father-in-law into the army?

Xiao Zheyan was sitting on the side and was wiping her treasured knife. When she saw Gu Yan enter the door, she showed relief on her face.From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Li's lips and teeth that were so stiff that he couldn't make a sound. He secretly laughed in his heart, and didn't know how he squeezed out those four words just now.

"Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand you, but I'm curious, how did you pass through that strange forest so quickly." Xiao Zheyan naturally couldn't dismantle Xiao Li's platform, so he could only delay for some time for him to pass angry.

Of course, although she had guesses about how Gu Yan passed through that strange forest, she was still very curious. After all, she did not expect that Gu Yan would find the key to it so quickly.

Gu Yan was not in a hurry to answer, but gave a big gift to Xiao Li and Xiao Zheyan.

Xiao Li and Xiao Zheyan were a little strange when they saw that Gu Yan made such an important gift to them, and looked at Gu Yan in puzzlement.

Gu Yan straightened up and said: "This gift is to thank the patriarch and the people of the Mengyin clan for setting the first level for me. If it weren't for the illusion of the first level, maybe I wouldn't pass the second level."

Xiao Li and Xiao Zheyan glanced at each other, and they all saw the doubts in each other's eyes. How could they not know what the first level and the second level have in common?

But Gu Yan said slowly: "If this junior's guess is correct, that strange forest is just an ordinary forest."

Speaking of which, Gu Yan looked up at Xiao Li and the two, seeing that they were noncommittal, he continued: "The smell in the forest is different, not because of the season or other reasons, in fact, there should be no smell in the forest.

But the reason why Brother Su and I smelled bitterness was because we had bitterness in our hearts at the time. "Speaking, Gu Yan laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's like Brother Su entered the forest for the first time, and didn't smell anything, because he didn't know the taste of bitterness at that time, and then because of his identity, he had a relationship with Brother Xiao. Not being able to meet and know each other is the only way to have the bitter taste later, and I am the same. "

Seeing Xiao Li's frown tightened, Gu Yan immediately changed the topic, "That's why I boldly guessed that there is some miasma in the dense forest that can easily cause hallucinations, but this miasma is many times stronger than ordinary things that enchant people's minds.

As for why people from the Mengyin clan can pass through at any time, but others cannot, it doesn't mean that people from the Mengyin clan can easily pass through this forest.

It's just because of the innate ability of the Mengyin people that you are much better than us in some aspects, and you can discern the real route in the miasma.

And the reason why ordinary people can follow the route on the night of the fifteenth day, when the moon is in the sky, is because part of the miasma can dissipate under the moonlight at that time.But once the time passes, the miasma will come again, and three hours is the longest period.

And each time the route is different because under different conditions, the dissipation of the miasma will have different changes, but it just happens to form a small road with the moonlight. "

Seeing the expressions of Xiao Li and the two of them, Gu Yan knew that his guess was right, so he continued: "However, this is not the only way to get through that forest, and it was the first level that gave me a hint."

Having said that, Gu Yan's voice paused for a moment, and a look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, "In the first round, everything is actually an illusion, but only A Ying, I can touch him and feel the truth. He, because he is my... phantom heart."

Mentioning Huanxin, Gu Yan's voice was a little hoarse, and his body trembled slightly. I'm afraid he will never forget that feeling in his whole life.

Slowing down, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Gu Yan paused and said: "Because the direction of the heart is the truth, so it is the same in that forest.

I can't trust my eyes, my sense of smell, or even my sense of touch. All I need to trust is my heart. Believe that there is a road ahead, and the road is right in front of me. "After saying this sentence, Gu Yan let out a breath slowly, and lowered his eyes slightly.

Believe in your own heart, senior Xiao Zimo and Si Guo mentioned it, even the illusion and the dense forest made him more aware of this truth.It's a pity that I realized it too late, so A Ying had to wait for so long.

"That's right, you're much smarter than I thought." Hearing Gu Yan's words, even Xiao Li showed a bit of admiration on his face, something that even the members of the Mengyin tribe didn't know about it. It was actually cracked by a foreigner, this Gu Yan really cannot be underestimated.

Suddenly, Xiao Li's brows were slightly tightened, and then she gave Gu Yan a meaningful look, "Only the previous patriarchs and the patriarch's wives of my Mengyin Clan can know about this matter, and I didn't expect you to find out about it."

Gu Yan immediately understood Xiao Li's meaning, pointed at the sky with three fingers and made an oath: "Gu Yan can swear here that he will never tell anyone else about this matter except A Ying." Even if it is for A Ying, He will also let this secret rot in his heart.

"Ying'er?" Hearing Gu Yan talking about Chewing Shadow, Xiao Zheyan's beautiful eyes flashed, and he nodded, "You really have a heart."

Don't hide from your lover, don't cheat, how many people in this world can do it, even his son is a little late to understand.And that person was tortured so much because of it. Thinking of this, a trace of pain and longing flashed in Xiao Zheyan's eyes.

Xiao Li on the side didn't see Xiao Zheyan's strangeness, but just snorted coldly, and cast a sideways glance at Gu Yan, "Mengyin in the clan knows more secrets than me, the patriarch."

As he spoke, he changed his voice and said, "Don't think that you can easily pass the third level. Not everyone can pass this third level."

"No one has been able to pass this level in the past hundred years. Even Bei Mingtian from a hundred years ago did not even enter this level. What is so annoying is that he actually..." Xiao Li ruthlessly He tightly clenched the armrest of the sandalwood chair, leaving several fingerprints on it in an instant.

Beiming Hierarch?Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, the Beiming Hierarch must have come to the Mengyin Clan to find Senior Xiao Zimo, but he didn't even pass the third level, so is this level really so difficult?

Xiao Zheyan came back to his senses when he heard the movement, and frowned when he saw the imprint on the handrail, "You just let him pass the customs. What happened a hundred years ago is already over, so what's the point of mentioning that?"

Xiao Li smiled sheepishly, "Yes, what Madam said is true." Turning her head and seeing Gu Yan's playful eyes, she immediately coughed lightly, and said in a light tone: "You follow me." Saying that, she got up and walked towards the back hall, And motioned Gu Yan to follow.

White flames the size of fingernails were covered in crystal covers, dancing on the wooden frames on both sides of the room.Some are bright and dazzling, while others are extremely dark.Reflecting on this supposedly dark room, it seemed to be much brighter than the outside.

There is also a crystal cover in the center of this room, but it is much more delicate than those just now. Although a flame in the cover is extremely bright, it is strangely quiet.

There are two clusters of slightly larger flames on the left and right of it, but they are slightly darker than this one, but the dancing rhythm is somewhat similar to the flames on the shelves on both sides.

Looking at this strange flame, Gu Yan admired it but also asked curiously: "Dare to ask Patriarch Xiao, what are these things?"

This Mengyin tribe is really full of peculiarities everywhere, but they don't know where Aying is now, but they have experienced all these peculiarities.If he and A Ying live here in seclusion in the future, it's not bad, even if it's a marriage, he will recognize it.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan coughed lightly in order to cover up his gaffe, but fortunately he was standing in a dimly lit place so that he could not expose his already red ear tips.

Xiao Li glanced at the flames first, and then looked at Gu Yan, "Of course I will tell you that you passed the third level, but it's too early to say this now."

"There is no time limit for this third level. As long as you can enter this level and pass it, you will be considered as having passed this level." Xiao Li's words seemed to be much lighter than those of the second level, but Gu Yan immediately listened intently to every word he said next.

"However, let me remind you that this third level is no better than the first two levels. Before you enter the third level, you still have room for repentance. If you fail to pass after entering the third level, then there is only one end." Said At this point, Xiao Li glanced at the flame in the center, and her voice paused for a while.

But after a while, Xiao Li continued to say faintly: "This test is called Soul Snatching. Either pass or die, there is no third possibility. You have to think clearly."

At this moment, the flames in the room seemed to tremble slightly, cold and strangely reflected in Xiao Li's eyes, like will-o'-the-wisps from the underworld.

Hearing Xiao Li's words, although Gu Yan's breathing was stagnant, but there was no trace of fear on his face, he nodded and said, "Please patriarch Xiao to open this third level."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Li no longer made things difficult for him, and her tone softened a little, "Do you have anything else to say to Xiaoying, if you are really buried here, I can tell it for you."

It would be a pity if this person really fell into this level, but if he had to choose, he would rather this Gu Yan not pass the third level.

Hearing this, Gu Yan smiled slightly, and Xiao Li and Xiao Zheyan were moved by the confidence in his eyes, "No, I will tell him what I want to say to him. Undoubtedly."

Passing this level is because of A Ying, and passing this level is because of A Ying.
