Chapter 256: The Secret Road in the Mountains (2)(1/2)
A sword is a sword that can kill people.
People are not necessarily the ones who are going to be killed.
Li Qing suddenly felt that this night was very special.
Because when he came to Wandie Valley, he could meet everyone he wanted to see.
Although it is said that all encounters in life are accidental encounters.
Everyone's chance encounter seems to be a destined coincidence.
There is actually a missing purple butterfly here.
Li Qing didn't even think about it.
Zidie left here with sadness, and she didn't leave any clues that Li Qing wanted to know.
The ghost-faced man disappeared, but suddenly appeared again, and he brought back his own sword.
This made Li Qing even more curious.
After all, Li Qing knew very well who he had given this sword to.
The words of the old nun on the other side of the woods were still fresh in Li Qing's memory. The ghost-faced man in front of him was the real master of the ghosts, and he ruled the mysterious ghost organization.
After searching through all the people he knew in his mind, Li Qing felt very unfamiliar with the ghost-faced man in front of him.
But Li Qing was sure from his voice and movements that he was the mysterious man he met in Dongzhuang.
He can always meet himself wherever he can go. It seems that he is really a ghost, knowing his whereabouts at every moment.
This feeling of being well known by others made Li Qin feel particularly uncomfortable.
It's like when a person goes to take a convenience, he suddenly finds a pair of eyes looking at him.
This will definitely make a person's defensive mind completely collapse in an instant.
With a hint of indifference, the ghost-faced man glanced at the shadow. When he looked away, the indifference in the ghost's face disappeared again.
"Now I suddenly changed my mind. You should go see someone first." The ghost-faced man's attitude suddenly changed, and he said to Li Qingyan in an extremely weird tone.
Li Qing could tell that he had deliberately changed his voice, not wanting the sudden shadow to hear his true voice.
"Who?" Li Qing said.
"A person you are familiar with, the dark night seems not to be kind to her." The ghost-faced man said.
The moment he finished speaking, his body suddenly retreated and his hands spread out, and his figure floated up as he retreated.
The moment the figure landed on the tree, Li Qing heard a person's name.
"Yuan Ning'er shouldn't stay alone at night." The familiar name made Li Qing give up the idea of chasing her out.
Ning'er's name pinned Li Qing to the ground.
"He seems to know your weakness." Seeing the ghost-faced man leaving, Shadow smiled faintly.
Li Qing shook the sword in his hand vigorously and nodded.
"It's night now, you should go find her." Shadow said in a gentle tone.
Li Qing nodded again.
"Do you know where Ning'er is?" Shadow looked very concerned.
But he got an answer he didn't believe.
"I don't know." Li Qing smiled bitterly. He really didn't know where Ning'er was at this moment.
Shadow smiled and shook his head. He had a feeling that Li Qing was completely different from when he had just met him.
There seemed to be an extra concern in his heart.
This is an emotion a swordsman shouldn't have.
Concern will make a person very hesitant in extraordinary times, and in hesitation, a person will easily make mistakes.
And as long as a swordsman makes a mistake, even if it is just a small mistake, it will leave a lifetime of regrets and may never have a chance to correct it.
Shadow was silent for a moment and did not speak.
Arriving at the red lantern, Shadow took down a lantern, raised it high in front of his eyes, and looked carefully at the big woods in front of him.
"This forest is very special. If you walk in recklessly, you will not survive tomorrow morning." Li Qing reminded.
"Its uniqueness can be seen by anyone who pays attention." Shadow nodded.
"Oh." Li Qing wanted to rub his nose with his hand, but when he picked up his hand, he saw the sword in his hand. This sword came back at a good time.
It's a pity that now is not a good time for Li Qing.
He had never been so worried about someone, especially when darkness was approaching.
Then Li Qing's figure appeared in front of the rock where the old nun disappeared, with a shadow behind him.
This is a dark brown boulder, half of which is directly embedded in the soil of the hillside. It gives the impression that it grows here naturally and has been integrated with the mountain.
If they hadn't seen the old nun and the big and small leaves disappearing here, no one would have believed that there was a cave hidden behind this huge rock.
At least that's what Li Qing thinks at this moment.
Li Qing changed the sword in his right hand to his left hand, and gently patted the rock with his hand.
The huge rock didn't make the sound I wanted to hear.
Seeing Li Qing's careful look, Shadow raised the big lantern high and approached the rock.
Wind erosion from the sun and moon has made the surface of this huge stone very rough.
When Li Qing's eyes fell on the rocks again, he smiled softly.
A woman is a woman.
Although women's hearts are said to be more delicate than men's, there is one thing that is absolutely beyond reproach: women's hands will definitely be smaller than men's.
After all, no woman says she has big hands.
Because of this difference, Li Qing found a place on the surface of the rock that looked particularly smooth, as if someone often liked to touch this place.
The smooth surface was small, and the person who liked to touch it must be a woman. Li Qing naturally thought of the three women who left.
Looking back at the shadow standing behind him, Li Qing nodded to him.
Shadow just smiled and said nothing.
Just when Li Qing was about to put his hand up, suddenly there were footsteps in the distance. The shadow immediately blew out the lantern in his hand and winked at Li Qing.
The figures of the two men rose from the ground and fell to the tree.
The footsteps approaching in the distance were very loud, and they seemed to be two women.
Even before people arrived, the voices could be heard clearly.
"I seem to see a light at the exit?" The speaker was a woman.
"You always like to be suspicious, how could anyone find this place." This is another woman.
The people who came here also walked through the woods, and soon they were standing in front of the huge rocks.
The moonlight is gentle and very bright.
Through the gaps between the leaves, Li Qing could clearly see the people who came here. They were the two women he met during the day. They were wearing white and green dresses.
"That kid has arrived in the valley, we have to be careful." The woman in the white dress looked around.
"Not to mention that other people can't find this place. Even if Li Qing comes, he will definitely not be able to get out of the woods." The voice of the woman in the green skirt was very soft, but Li Qing could still hear it clearly.
"Young Master must have caught that boy," said the woman in the white dress.
"This boy seems to be a little brave. He actually dares to break into the valley." The woman in the green skirt emphasized the word 'boy' very hard.
I don’t know if she spoke like this on purpose. While speaking, she lifted her collar with her left hand and looked up at the tree.
"If the young master catches him, I would like to take a closer look at how capable he is." The woman in the white dress said with a smile.
"What kind of abilities do men have? You still don't know?" the woman in the green dress replied with a smile.
The standing woman in the white dress laughed hard when she heard this.
The woman in the green skirt didn't speak any more. She walked into the boulder, turned her body sideways, and stretched out her hand.
When her fingers were placed on the boulder, she pressed her hand gently on the smooth part, and then turned, a stone door immediately opened in the middle of the boulder, and a ray of light penetrated from the stone door.
She did not look back at this moment, but laughed loudly and said: "I heard that Li Qing is very capable, and he is even more handsome than Chu Xiang in the past."
"If he is really the handsome Chu Xiang of the past, that would be fine." The woman in the white dress said with a smile.
"Why?" the woman in green skirt turned around and asked.
"It would be nice if she could be a handsome woman." The woman in the white dress added with a smile.
"What a beautiful thought you have." The woman in the green skirt looked up at the tree again and said, "Let's go quickly, don't let the young master wait too long."
Their people quickly walked into the opened stone door. When people walked in, the stone door slowly closed again.
