Chapter 110 Dangers (1/2)
In the night sky, the crescent moon was bright and clean, while the stars were twinkling. Clouds were floating.
In the field, insects called, showing their feeling of joy.
Under the moonlight, the Qinglong Mountain was vague to see, showing out its tall and straight figure.
Qinglong Mountain was near Qingshan Village, which located at a remote place. There were a few households. People there lived for farming and was really pure and harmonious.
On the road outside the village, Zhang Yunyan was sitting on a big stone, looking at the Qinglong Mountain nearby. There was an expression of desire in her eyes.
She was waiting for the immortal and the treasure to come out.
Since listening to Sun Jianlin's narration, Zhang Yunyan would check the change of Qinglong Mountain every night, hoping to see the magical signs in the legend and to see the immortal and the treasure.
However, she was not as lucky as Sun Jianlin. For a few days, she always came with a longing desire but went back with frustration.
At this moment, Qinglong Mountain was quiet with no smoke, black clouds, lightning, and loud noise...
It seemed that the immortal was busy at another place and had no time to come here. There was also no sign of treasures, which made her disappointed.
Zhang Yunyan would leave here tomorrow and tonight was the last hope. She did not know whether she would be disappointed again.
She was praying in her mind and hoped to see the immortal to learn some magical skills from him and to enhance her ability to live in Jianghu.
The more she thought about it, the more eager she was. No matter what happened, she would not give up the last chance and needed to insist on to the last moment. Perhaps, the hope would hide in the failure once and once again.
If she came back with disappointment, she could only come back to wait for the immortal after she killed her enemy. She must meet the immortal and get that treasure.
While waiting, Zhang Yunyan remembered the uncompleted vows and felt angry and anxious.
She thought of her adopted father's son, her big brother Lin Jiaxiang. She felt yearning and pain.
Brother Jiaxiang was her fiancé who was a handsome man that was rare to see and had already occupied Yunyan's heart.
Now, brother Jiaxiang had passed away for a few years. He died for saving her on the day when they got married. Yunyan's heart had been bleeding until now.
In her thoughts, she looked at the distance inadvertently and suddenly she stared at the halfway of Qinglong Mountain.
In the dim moonlight and the vague darkness, there seemed to be a puff of smoke and then it quickly spread.
She could not make sure whether the smoke was true or just her illusion because she just glanced at it. She was praying for it for a long time, so it might be her illusion. Perhaps, it was just an image like a mirage.
Zhang Yunyan hoped that the smoke was real, because that was the sign of the immortal and treasure. This meant that her dream in her childhood would come true.
She could not confirm whether the smoke was true or not but could not deny the possibility of existence. After all, she saw it, although it seemed to be nothing different.
Yunyan would embark on the journey of revenge tomorrow. At the last night, she hoped to meet the immortal and get the treasure.
Qinglong Mountain was still silent and there seemed to be nothing suspicious from distance.
Yunyan stared at the halfway of the mountain and did not see any suspicious smoke or any sound.
It was an illusion. It must be an illusion. She shook her head and sighed. It seemed that it was difficult to reach her dream. It seemed that she would return with disappointment.
Zhang Yunyan did not give up. Regardless of whether the smoke existed or not, she could not stay here to wait and needed to step on the mountain to have a check.
She was very worried that if the immortal and treasure showed up, they would disappear soon. It would be too late when she reached the mountain.
If so, she would be as disappointed as Sun Jianlin and missed a good opportunity.
Thinking of this, she immediately got up and ran to Qinglong Mountain.
Zhang Yunyan soon came to the Qinglong Mountain and patrolled around. There was no active figure. She was the only one wandering in the wild at night.
There was no more sound except for the insects in the whole mountain. It was very quiet. Here, there was no wind. Branches and flowers were still. It seemed that they had fallen into sleep.
Zhang Yunyan walked up to the hill along the path and came to the middle of the mountain.
The mountain was very quiet and there were insects callings from time to time, adding a piece of vibration and tenderness to the quiet land.
During the inspection, she did not know if it was the suspecting place where a puff of smoke rose. She had no way to confirm it.
Outside the village, Qinglong Mountain was vague to see in the darkness. She could not figure out clearly the scene where the smoke showed up. She could only see it roughly and could not make sure where it was.
Zhang Yunyan felt that even if it was not the place where the smoke rose, it would not far away from the right place. Once there was a sign, she would come to there immediately. She could not miss this good chance.
She sat on a stone and waited for the immortal and treasure to come out. She also thought about some issues about her departure tomorrow.
Suddenly, Zhang Yunyan seemed to hear a voice. It was weak. Her mind could not help tensing.
When she listened carefully, the faint voice did exist and seemed to be on the mountain. It sounded like a snort and was not far away from here. In the quiet night, it was faintly audible.
What was that voice? Was the precursor to the coming of the immortal? Was the sound when the treasure was about to come out? Or was it a beast hunting around?
Yunyan hoped it could be the former suspicion. Then, she could realize the long-awaited wish. It would not be in vain.
No matter what it was, she could not stay here. She rushed towards the sound at once.
She was a little bit nervous and careful. She dared not alarm the sender of the voice, lest she would lose her chance and gain nothing.
The closer she got, the more clearly she could hear. It was a snort indeed just nearby.
