C188 (1/2)
In the past when she had been assigned a mission, she had either been led by her master or her senior sister. Thus, she had become accustomed to relying on them.
Li Yue pondered for a moment and said, ”I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it out of the mountains tonight. I'll first think of a way to leave the miasma forest!”
Jingjing worriedly asked, ”Didn't you say that we have to go down the mountain before daybreak?”
In particular, she remembered that after Great Hero Yan's repeated warnings, he had already thought of the look of terror on his face when the sun had risen and he was still in the mountains.
”The miasma is not comparable to the marsh, nor to those hallucinatory plants. This is a true poisonous gas, once you take a look at it and ingest it, you will be in danger of losing your life.”
Li Yue's words made Jingjing even more worried.
Those psychedelic plants only made people lose their mind. At most, they would do something out of line.
Those plants were like aphrodisiacs, they could make a person's nerves excited.
The miasma here, however, was a deadly poison.
”Do you know how to hold your breath?”
After Li Yue asked her question, he felt that her question was unnecessary even before Jingjing could reply.
Without further ado, he took out a snow-white silk handkerchief from his sleeve, poured some water into the bamboo tube to moisten it, and handed it to Jingjing: ”It will always feel better to rush up, hurry up.”
”What about you?”
”Take care of yourself!”
Jing Jing didn't mention this again, ”Which direction should we go now?”
Li Yue seemed to be slightly impressed by Jing Jing's calmness. He said, ”Look at the sky, can you tell the direction?”
Jingjing tied a wet silk scarf around her face, and looked up to see the bright moonlight. Her eyes lit up again, ”I can distinguish directions by identifying stars!”
Li Yue did not doubt his words and said, ”Alright, the road down the mountain is slightly west of the north. Show me!”
After pausing for a moment, he continued, ”I don't like identifying constellations the most, but it seems necessary now.”
Jingjing smiled and looked towards the sky, not answering his words.
She pointed her snow-white finger at the moon and muttered, ”…” ”That's Sirius, that's Vega, and that's Constellation Two …”
A string of words that Li Yue could not understand came out. After a while, Jingjing's eyes lit up and her hands froze in a certain direction, ”It's here!”
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, ”Yes, this place is right!”
Li Yue actually still trusted her very much. ”Go straight ahead!”
Jing Jing nodded, smiled, and said: ”But …. If we rush there now, will we catch up with the enemy? ”
Li Yue replied seriously, ”Probably not. They probably didn't expect us to come to the miasma forest. Even if they had, they wouldn't dare to enter so easily.”
Jingjing nodded and rolled her eyes. The scar on the right side of her face no longer looked that ugly, ”Didn't I just think of a way to lure you in?”
”En!”
”I have a new way to let them know our direction.”
”Oh?”
Jingjing stopped her steps and took the Western Region King's reward from her head. She was prepared to take the Night Pearl that she had grinded when she returned home. She smiled and said, ”With this, there will be someone to lead the way for us!”
”Who?” Li Yue curiously asked.
Jingjing mysteriously smiled and asked him, ”This Luminous Pearl is really good, you can throw it a mile away?”
Li Yue seemed to understand something, and his green eyes were filled with excitement. ”I can travel about half a kilometer, but there's something wrong with that distance!”
Jing Jing smiled and handed it over to him, ”Throw it away!”
She took it and was about to throw it far away.
”Explain!” Li Yue said.
But Jingjing smiled, ”Didn't you already know? Why should I say it? ”
Li Yue did not ask any further and walked forward with a smile. ”This way, not only will we not get lost, we will also attract our people!”
Jing Jing also smiled, ”This method is really good!”
However, neither of them noticed that a pair of eyes was following them closely from behind …
”How did you come up with that?” she asked.
”My brain!” Jingjing replied.
”How do you know how to use the stars to identify directions?” she asked.
”I saw it in the book.” In fact, in the twenty-first century, Master had trained him.
”It's my turn to ask you!” Jingjing said.
”Go ahead!” ”No,” she said.
”Is your martial arts very strong?” Jingjing asked.
”Not bad.” Li Yue replied.
”Why do you know Qing Gong when your legs are inconvenient? He could actually throw the bead so far. How did he cultivate it? Was it related to that wordless heavenly book? Is that a martial arts manual? ”
”No!” Li Yue simply replied.
From this, Jingjing came to a conclusion.
When you ask Li Yue, you can't ask his two or more questions in a row.
He had to ask them one by one.
This way, he would be able to ensure that every question received his answer.
”Is Beitang Bingying your senior sister?” she asked again.
”Yes!”
”Where's Nangong Xiu?”
”Count me in as half brother-in-law!”
”But I've never heard of Beitang Bingying having a junior sister. Her Beitang Clan cannot accept a disciple with another surname!” She thought of the source of the problem.
”Ugh …” This is a long story! ”
