C89 (1/2)
Since they had arrived at Gansu, the first thing they did was to taste the beef noodle soup. They followed Mu Chen and to a relatively clean restaurant that seemed to be quite big, and sat down and ordered some dishes and noodles.
After he ate, he said, ”Fragrant and spicy.”
But Mu Chen was afraid to eat beef.
It was a silent night, and on the second day, Mu Chen knocked on the door early. Actually we had already woken up, hearing his shouts, we walked out, and when Mu Chen saw that I was walking out of Qin Yize's room, his expression turned bad.
Mu Chen told us that he had already determined Danshen's direction. Let's see if we can get there as fast as possible. I was afraid that they would notice and leave early. When that happens, I wouldn't be able to look for them anymore.
But he couldn't alert the enemy and see if he could save Danshen in one go. If that didn't work, then he would retreat first and discuss the matter later.
Qin Yize nodded. We set off.
Mu Chen did not know where he got this broken car, it was indeed broken.
Except for the horn, which wasn't too loud, the rest of them were all ringing.
We set off in the direction of the compass.
Sitting on the broken car, we rushed to the place Mu Chen told us but realised that there was no one there. There was only an empty courtyard, and the courtyard was extremely dilapidated, it did not look like a house, which made us a little disappointed.
We obviously didn't reveal anything, but how did we get caught?
Qin Yize looked at us with a sharp gaze. I know that he had the same suspicion as us, and that is that one of us revealed the information.
But there's only three of us, Qin Yize and I don't know, and Mu Chen doesn't know either. From the looks of it, none of us are suspicious!
However, this puzzled us. Why couldn't we find him?
Mu Chen had no choice but to drive back.
On the way back, we were all very disappointed, especially Mu Chen and I. Danshen had already been missing for quite a few days, and I was about to die from worry.
Now that he finally got some information, it was a wasted trip.
”Something's not right!”
Just as I was about to fall asleep, Mu Chen suddenly said something.
”What's wrong?” Hearing Mu Chen's voice, I immediately became spirited, and looked up from Qin Yize's shoulder with a quiver.
”Look, we have clearly walked far, but this Luo Jing is still pointing at that place!” Mu Chen stopped the car and said to us while holding Luo Jing.
”Take the car back!” Qin Yize thought and said to Mu Chen.
However, when we went back, we didn't find anything special. The courtyard from before was still as dilapidated as before. Furthermore, there was no one in the courtyard.
”Is this Luo Jing bad?”
I looked at Luo Jing, who was still pointing in this direction.
Mu Chen shook his head, his face was firm: ”This is a scripture I made myself, it basically cannot be damaged, unless …”
”Unless what?”
”Taoist, look carefully at this place!”
Just as I asked, Qin Yize's voice came from somewhere not too far away from us.
Mu Chen and I quickly ran over to where Qin Yize was. Mu Chen opened his eyes and looked at the place Qin Yize was pointing at, revealing a look of understanding.
”It seems like there's something more to this place!”
Then, Mu Chen frowned, ”This illusion array is not easy to break. If I were to do this, I would need to go back and study it before I would dare to break through this Bewitching Array. ”
Mu Chen looked for a long time, but could not find the crux of the problem, so he could only cast his gaze towards Qin Yize.
Qin Yize remained expressionless. I looked at him for a while, but still couldn't tell if he understood this or not.
Qin Yize took two steps forward, and suddenly said to Mu Chen: ”Look at the willow tree in the courtyard.”
