Tiptoeing, she pushed aside the layers of shrubs. Even though Jun Aoyan had moved as lightly as possible, a rustling sound was inevitable. When she finally came to the source of the sound, she hid behind a tree and prepared to take a sneak peek.
.But soon, she appeared.
"It turns out it's you." Aoyan was visibly relieved, "I thought someone came to this place where chickens don't lay eggs to catch me."
Liu Shenghan turned around and smiled, dusting off the cuffs of his sleeves. Jun Aoyan stretched his head and glanced behind her.
"What's wrong?"
"I thought I heard someone you were talking to just now? But it seems like you are the only one here. Maybe I heard you wrong."
"Well...I was thinking about something just now, and I started talking to myself unknowingly."
"What are you thinking about?"
"What else could it be?"
"……well."
"We'd better go back quickly." Liu Shenghan raised his head and looked at the last remaining light in the west. "When it gets completely dark, we may not be able to find our way back."
So the two of them walked together. It should be the time for the believers to go to Xiangyuan, but they really didn't meet a living person. It wasn't until they approached the building complex that the two of them didn't get very close. They walked relatively scattered, but they were all
Within the opponent's field of vision. Even if you encounter one or two people, just walk calmly
However, it was not a shame at all. No one made trouble for them. They could clearly feel that there was a special aroma that was getting stronger and stronger. This thing was related to their first visit to Xiangji Country to meet the God of Fragrance.
The fragrance used is very similar. It is estimated that it is a preparation ceremony for opening the gate of Xiangyuan.
When they returned to the previous platform, Bai Ya was still here. However, there was a cloth bag on the ground. There were a few cakes stuffed in the bag, with sesame seeds stuck on them, but they were a little cold. In addition, there were a few weapons scattered around.
Jun Aoyan immediately stepped forward and picked up a spear, looking back and forth. The metal spear seemed very light in her hand, just like the wooden stick she picked up in the afternoon.
"People who can wait for you to come back will already be starving to death." Bai Ya glared at the two of them.
"All women are like this." Liu Shenghan took out two cakes from the bag and handed one to Jun Aoyan. Aoyan asked:
"Where did all these...come from? Are you stealing again?"
"Are you going to educate me now?" Bai Ya raised his eyebrows, "Are you really going to meet that Gandharva with bare hands? I don't know if you can walk out of Xiangyuan intact."
"...But the quality of this spear is too poor." Aoyan was a little distressed, "It will break if you apply even a little force."
"Stop talking nonsense. You don't know how troublesome it is for me to carry these jingling things."
Liu Shenghan said that since she had taken it, she could use it and it was worthy of the purpose of making the weapon. As she said that, she picked up a dagger on the ground. This thing was about the same length as her pen. Although she was not
Tai knew how to use these bladed things, but it was better than nothing. In addition, she also found that Bai Ya had prepared a pair of ordinary knives. It seemed that he was still accustomed to the things he commonly used.
"Our things have arrived at Xiangyuan." Bai Ya said, "I noticed my knife."
"Where exactly is Xiangyuan?"
"An isolated place, a barrier woven with scent, cannot be marked on a map." Bai Ya said, "I just realized it. When we get there, we must first get our things back."
I'm afraid it's not that easy." Jun Aoyan couldn't help but sigh, "Think about it, we still have the magic weapons of the gods in our luggage. The God of Fragrance must already know about the good things we do outside."
"Then he should be more knowledgeable." Bai Ya said coldly.
They didn't say anything more. They ate and prepared to rest for a while. All they knew was that Xiangyuanzi stopped receiving people from time to time, and they didn't know when those believers would leave. In short, they wanted to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow.
The environment was not good. However, they had experienced more difficult conditions. They slept wherever they could. They used wooden sticks to set up a broken tent to block the wind, and fell asleep in the cool weather.
, and woke up in a daze. The rooster's crow appeared as promised. When he opened his eyes, he could see the dawn sky through the cracks in the broken shed.
After being exposed to this faint fragrance for a long time, they almost no longer noticed the smell. They were walking on the "high road", above the buildings, stepping on other people's roofs and rooftops, and even hanging on the air when necessary.
Clothes string, just to disobey those below
They met each other. Once, Liu Shenghan almost fell from the gap between two houses that was too wide. Bai Ya quickly grabbed her hand, and a pot of flowers fell from the side. What was even more thrilling was that on the main road on the side
There were countless believers who had returned all night.
But the group of people didn't even look at them - even though the movement was really loud.
"I noticed from the beginning that their spirits were a little distracted and they were distracted."
After Liu Shenghan was pulled up, he said this while dusting himself off.
"Are you sleepy? After all, you haven't slept all night. There are so many people who want to see the God of Fragrance, and it's impossible to rush in all at once. They must have waited for a long time and it will be boring, right?" Jun Aoyan guessed so.
But Liu Shenghan shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Look, what are they holding in their hands?"
The three of them stuck their heads out from the roof and looked at the people walking on the street. Almost everyone was holding a small package in their hand, about the same size as a money bag. The colors were different, but they were all made of good materials. They were so gorgeous.
The color and material are a bit out of place for ordinary people, even poor people. But whether they are rich or poor, men, women, old and young, they all hold it tightly, occasionally looking left and right, for fear that someone will steal it.
"You can tell it's a treasure...given by Gandharva?" Bai Ya guessed.
"I'm afraid so. We'll have to see him to find out."
"Make no mistake, we are here to ask for what belongs to us this time, and to negotiate the second and third tasks."
"I hope there is still a chance to talk peacefully."
Liu Shenghan naturally remembered the spell on how to enter the Xiangyuan, and the ointments could be used as long as they scavenged some leftovers from the shrine. The herbs wrapped around the wrists were also left. Soon, they found a place
The remote shrine, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, repeated the old trick and came to the gate of Xiangyuan again.
Everything is exactly the same as before. The difference is that the ingredients of the spices in the fragrance garden seem to have been changed this time, and the smell is different from the last time.
But the moment they stepped through the door, the music players suddenly stopped.
Everyone - they knew they were all paper figures. They all held musical instruments and stared at them motionless on the spot. Although no guards intervened to stop them, the sudden quiet environment and these creepy sights were somewhat disturbing.
Heart-warming
He was restless. But Bai Ya walked forward resolutely, and it seemed that his steps could not be stopped by anyone. His eyes were fixed on the magnificent building in front of him, as if whoever stood in front of him would die.
Liu Shenghan raised his head and glanced at the mountain of jewels behind the palace. The mountain was full of colorful Wuxiaying. He didn't know when so many of them grew.
They walked forward quickly and saw Xiang Shen's face that needed a beating at a glance.
The Gandharva still wore the black and gold octagonal crown and looked much more lazy. The incense burner was on the left side of his throne. He rested his face on one hand and yawned boredly, his expressions on their faces filled with unprecedented contempt.
"Not only have you failed to complete your mission, you have also lost important things. Now you are just a few fugitives, but you still have the nerve to meet the leader of the church? If you know the truth, get out now. You are in danger of life and death, and I will not make things difficult for you."
"Who are you bluffing?" Bai Ya was really not polite at all. "You took our things and you want to drive them away? Please return our weapons and luggage first, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"Pfft." The Gandharva covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed, "Look at you, do you look like a puppy that can only bark? It's not enough to just talk big, you have to be able to bite. But you don’t have any teeth in your mouth, so what can you do? And those things, tell me, if you just give us amber in the beginning, wouldn’t it eliminate a task? In the end, wouldn’t they all be in the hands of this leader?”
The Gandharva closed his fingers with sharp nails. These words were probably intended to anger Bai Ya. But he did not show the anger that the Gandharva had expected. Instead, the Gandharva felt a little disappointed. Bai Ya He just kept staring at this aloof fragrance god, as if he would rush forward at the next moment and tear his disguise apart.
"We met the Prince Consort of Ge Shen Kingdom. His belt was a prop that I originally wanted to use to bring back his body, but I failed. He is already dead. I confirmed it with my eyes. There is no need to bring anything back."
Bai Ya said calmly, and the Gandharva rolled his eyes.
"Your eyes will deceive you - foolish child."
He gently rubbed the silver incense burner beside him with his hand, and a billowing white smoke poured out from it. The smoke blocked the line of sight between them and the Gandharva. Bai Ya was about to step forward, when a person suddenly appeared on the curtain. 's back.
"Pray..." Jun Aoyan almost said it out loud. But she knew that it must be an illusion.
"Qi Huan" on the curtain turned around and grinned as if he was really called. He looked very happy.
In an instant, Bai Ya suddenly cut off the thin white mist with a knife. "Qi Huan" was cut into two parts at the waist, and bright red blood spurted out from the section of the body, splattering in every corner of the hall. He was exposed He had a look of panic and despair, and his expression was distorted by pain. He stretched out his hand and opened his mouth full of blood, as if he wanted to retain something or plead something.
Finally, a huge gap suddenly opened in the ground, and downwards was an abyss. "Qi Huan"'s broken body fell down with the gravel. Jun Aoyan took a step back subconsciously, and almost screamed. Even this It's an illusion, but it's too real. Even Liu Shenghan frowned. But Bai Ya didn't even blink, his sharp sight passed through the hazy fog. Until the mirage completely dissipated, his eyes were in contact with Qian Da's eyes. My mother-in-law met her directly.
"Your Excellency is really a man who doesn't miss old relationships."
