Chapter 621 (1/2)
Dugu Xiao and the five Wolves of Taihang, together with more than a dozen disciples of the earthly Pavilion, are already close to the point of Cang.
The vast 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain are adjacent to Erhai Lake in the East, and eighteen streams in the canyon run to Erhai Lake.
The distance is vast, the mountains are undulating, and the unique silence in the mountains makes people feel smooth. Dugu Xiao and others then hid in the woods and quietly looked at the vast mountains ahead.
The peak is covered with snow, clouds and fog, and below the hillside is the boundless and green forest, green and undulating.
”Childe, now you have entered the boundless land. Xu Zhengyuan and others must have returned to the seven Jue palace. Childe, look...”
It was a middle-aged man in royal clothes who was directly assigned by Dugu Cheng to follow him and perform this task with Dugu Xiao.
Dugu smiled coldly at him and didn't answer. Then he looked at the sinking sun and said, ”find a place to settle down first. Now that you have reached the heaven, you don't have to worry too much.”
The man in royal clothes is named Liu Ren. He is cautious and smooth. The reason why Dugu Cheng asked him to follow him was that Dugu Cheng was afraid of laughing too impulsively.
This time, Dugu Xiao came to DIANCANG to find out whether DIANCANG has anything to do with the Tianmo sect. Whether he has it or not, he can't scare the snake. Therefore, we must be careful not to easily expose our whereabouts.
Fortunately, it's very simple to hide in this vast green mountain with lush trees.
Liu Ren bowed and said, ”don't worry, young master. My subordinates have inquired about the surrounding environment. There is a cave about five miles west, which is just enough for us to stay for the time being. The dry food brought by the disciples should last for a few days. ”
Dugu smiled: ”OK, lead the way! Even if the dry food is gone, you can hunt in the deep mountains and you won't starve. ”
Although Liu Ren was appointed by Dugu Cheng, he was still respectful and modest in front of Dugu Xiao.
”Yes, you are considerate.”
Say it and walk ahead. There are thorns in the deep mountain. There is no road at all. The two disciples waved their long swords and cut through thorns and thorns to make a way.
The party walked along the newly opened road. Soon, they came to a canyon. A stream meandered eastward from the canyon. In the canyon, there are jagged rocks and sparse trees. On a smooth cliff, a waterfall falls from the sky like a jade belt, which falls on the prominent stone wall and immediately turns into thousands of water droplets, forming a misty water mist.
The stream twists and turns. It passes under the stone wall at the foot of the mountain. It turns into a cave under the stone wall. It breaks through the wall more than ten feet later. It is really a wonder.
When he came to the stone wall, the man in royal clothes looked up at the water mist and said, ”the cave is below here. It's deserted. No one will come. It's a quiet place.”
Then he went to the stone wall and saw him close to the stone wall. With a flash, he disappeared.
It turned out that the entrance of the cave was also very hidden, that is, it was on the stream. After entering, it was very wide, enough to accommodate hundreds of people. And I don't know how far it extends inside, complex and strange.
The stream flows outside, but it's very dry and cool inside. It's really a pleasant place.
More than 20 people immediately lived in the cave. Several disciples went out to pick up a lot of dry firewood, beat a few rabbits and pheasants, washed and stripped them in the stream, made a fire and barbecued in the cave. The cave was wide, and there were no people smoked by fire.
After more than ten days of driving down the road, everyone was a little tired. After eating dry food and game, they found a place to sleep.
The night was getting dark. More than 20 people in the cave had fallen asleep, leaving only two disciples to guard in the canyon in case of accidents.
More than 20 people have gone for dozens of miles. It's deserted here. Where will anyone come? One of the two disciples sat on a branch and was sleepy, while the other leaned on a boulder and was bored.
If Liu Ren hadn't appointed them to come out to guard, they wouldn't be bothered to suffer from the mosquito bite outside.
The mountains were more silent late at night, and occasionally unknown beasts issued a deep roar and came from afar. They didn't care. If the beast came, it wouldn't be so boring.
Suddenly, they both felt a chill!
This is not the coolness brought by the night wind in the mountains, but a coolness that rises from your back involuntarily.
The man in the tree flew down and quickly came to the companion standing on the boulder. He asked in a deep voice, ”what did you feel just now?”
”Shua Shua” twice, two long swords came out of their scabbard, and the blade of the sword faintly glowed under the waning moon.
The two watched with vigilance. Although the moonlight was hazy, with their eyesight, any wind and grass within a radius of ten feet could not escape their eyes.
But they looked carefully for two times and found nothing.
The two people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. Their mood gradually relaxed, and the long sword held in their hands slowly dropped.
”Maybe it's an illusion?”
The man leaning on the boulder said suspiciously.
”No, I didn't see anything. I felt a chill on my back. Did you see anything?”
”I didn't see it either, but somehow I felt a burst of cold on my back“
They didn't say it was OK. When they said this, they felt cold again, and immediately raised their long sword and looked left and right.
