It is one of the mountains, not the most precipitous among them. But the stone wall faced by the two girls must be the most rugged one. This stone wall is one side of the mountain, as if it were covered by a huge
The ax head struck almost vertically. But it was not smooth either. After millions of years of wind and rain erosion, it had become uneven. The protruding stone thorns intertwined like canine teeth were filled with small holes. No one cared about it and no one cared about it.
Polished everywhere.
Is this the high mountain where Shui Wujun said that the immortal retreated? Yin Quan squinted his eyes and raised his head, trying his best to look up to the top of the mountain. His neck was sore from looking up, and he could only see blurry clouds and strange rocks at the end of his field of vision. This is true.
It is a dangerous peak that is enough to escape the world. Then again, since it has been claimed to be a "closed pass", can it really meet those visitors?
"The person we are looking for is at the top of the mountain." Shui Wujun also glanced upward, then turned to her, "I will take you up from here. Although it is not the main road, it is the most convenient shortcut."
Ye Yinhua nodded and frowned slightly. She vaguely remembered Shui Wujun saying that there was a special way to climb to the top of the mountain, but there didn't seem to be any hiking trails here. She still refused to speak, but fortunately
Shui Wujun seemed to read the confusion in her expression.
"It doesn't mean that you can only get where you want to go by walking. If you limit your method of travel to just your legs and mount, then everywhere can be a road."
Ye Yinhua didn't seem to understand what she was talking about, and she raised her eyebrows slightly in understanding.
"Master Lintian—the master we want to meet is the gentleman who taught me the immortal method." Shui Wujun thought for a moment, and the explanation in words was far less direct than the demonstration in action, so as she spoke, she held in her hand
The hand seals have been formed and are constantly changing and flying. "The person in charge in the underworld once gave me a set of chains, called the Demon Binding Rope. It also has many stories in the past. You only need to know that I use it to coordinate with this set of magic.
, you can create a shortcut for us...see."
Shui Wujun quickly finished a set of tricks. Ye Yinquan listened to her words and stared at her hands intently, feeling suddenly dazzled. Naturally, she couldn't understand it, but she felt there was a glimmer of light.
The waves tumbling between your fingers are like the colored breeze or the water carrying algae. They have their own path and rhythm.
"rise!"
The sealing came to an abrupt end, and a series of crisp metallic sounds came to her ears one after another, from different positions in the same direction, one after another, with almost the same gap. The sound made her feel very bad, as if someone was about to clank.
A precursor to imprisonment.
At the end of the scene, Shui Wujun pointed towards the mountain wall, which was the direction from which the sound came. Only then did Yin Huan dare to follow the gesture and look over, opening his lips slightly in surprise.
Chains, endless chains, came from nowhere and filled her field of vision. They criss-crossed the rocks, like ivy that had grown on the cliff for many years. But these cold and hard vines suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Even though they were born, Yin Quan could not find their roots. Her eyes jumped between the chains.
She jumped, trying to grasp the clues, and then gave up quickly. They seemed to have no beginning, but the end point was clear. The intertwined metal vine chains extended all the way up, submerged in the mist that she could not see clearly, and went straight to the peak.
It seems to be as high as the sky. No matter who looks like this, they will feel dizzy.
Does Shui Wujun mean to let her climb up the chain together? Ye Yinquan is a little embarrassed. She is not afraid of this dangerous method, but with her skills and physical strength, it doesn't seem like she can do it.
What's more, it's freezing cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the temperature of metal... If I touch it with my hand, I think it can be taken off, and I'm afraid I will have to peel off a layer of skin.
She looked hesitantly at Shui Wujun, who didn't know what she was thinking, but happened to take a few steps forward and half-crouched down in front of her:
"Come up. I'll take you up."
She hesitated for a while, always feeling embarrassed to trouble others. But having said that, there was no shortage of trouble along the way. A living person was a burden to Liu Dao Impermanence. But since the ultimate goal was also for her, she didn't know
Is all this a matter of course?
From the beginning, it was considered to be causing trouble for others. Seeing her hesitation, Shui Wujun hooked the fingers of both hands and motioned her to hurry up and not waste time. Then she carefully grabbed her and exhaled the air in her lungs deeply.
Go, as if this would reduce your own weight.
The sound of wind whistled past Yin Quan's ears, from soft to strong, and finally turned into a uniform whistling, not noisy, giving the illusion of weakening. She thought maybe her ears were used to it, because the sound of the wind blowing against her temples
The wind on her face was still fierce, causing a tight feeling on her face, as if her face was being stretched against her skull. This tight feeling was also like the sound of wind, as the senses gradually got used to it and soon became numb.
, only the coolness remains.
Isn't Shui Wujun cold? She may be used to it. After all, the speed at this time is brought about by her Qinggong. What's more, she is carrying a little girl who is not a child on her back. She is probably slower than her usual speed.
Right? Yin Huan tried to raise her head, looked over her shoulder, and saw Shui Wujun's fingers quickly holding a chain, and then flew past it, like a nimble bird flying to the next place. The chains seemed to be moving, and they were moving with each other.
Together they quickly jumped to the top of the mountain.
She still couldn't see where the chains were connected. They were not vertically up and down, but horizontally and vertically, entangled in the rocks and ravines, like a large and disorderly net covering the mountain wall.
Shui Wujun could always grab the one that was most convenient for exerting force, and with a gentle lift, he took her up a long way.
The scenery around her was retreating rapidly. At first, Yin Quan could still see the surrounding earth. It was like the world seen from a bird's eye view in a dream reflected in her eyes in the real world, which made her feel a little novel and also...
Somewhat bored. They soon went away, leaving only the monotonous grass and rocks and a small patch of sky, flying past in a blur, leaving them far behind.
Similar sights made Yin Huan gradually lose her judgment of time and space. She didn't know how high they had climbed and how long it had taken them. The scenery around her seemed to have been repeated for a long time, and it seemed that only a short while had passed. She suddenly felt
She was knocked upside down for a while before she realized that Shui Wujun had placed her gently on the ground.
"We're here." Shui Wujun said to her.
She was startled, still a little dazed. She felt that the calm scenery in front of her was still in motion, and there was an illusory wind undulating on her face. She walked lightly, as if there was air currents lining her. There was only a shallow light on the ground.
There is shallow dry grass and not much vegetation. Maybe it is too high here, but it is not snowy. There are no roads here, or in other words, there are roads everywhere.
Yin Huan kept her head down and just looked at her feet - she had always been like this. But not long after walking, Shui Wujun suddenly stopped and let out a soft sigh:
"Why are you here?"
"Earlier, I had a feeling in my heart, and I made a fortune telling you to come here at this time, so I came here to greet you two."
This was a strange male voice that she couldn't describe. But if Chuxue Melting had a sound, it must be like this. Yin Huan was still a little confused, so she shook her head and looked forward following the sound.
There stood a... man whose age could not be discerned. His face was very young, like a handsome young man. Although he had long frost-dyed hair, the white color was not as withered as that of an old man, but closer to a new one.
Falling snow, or the purest feathers of a white crane. His expression is very indifferent
, is definitely not like a young man, or even too far away to be like a person in the world. Although he is standing not far away, Yin Quan feels that he is very far away, so far away that he will drift away at any time and merge into the clouds in the sky.
But he seemed kind again, showing a shallow and warm smile to his old friend:
"Shui Wujun, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"It is true that some time has disappeared. However, Master Lintian still looks as young as before."
Master Lintian shook his head when he heard this.
"Even so, even as an immortal, I have reached the end of my life."
When he said this, he didn't have any regrets or sighs, he just described it calmly. After saying this, his eyes lightly glanced at them:
"This is... the child you mentioned to me when Xianhe wrote?"
Yin Huan subconsciously shrank her head and moved away from Shui Wujun. She didn't know whether it was because she was shy with strangers, or because she was worried about the hope that was within reach but unknown. Shui Wujun lowered his head and stretched out his hand to stroke her hand awkwardly.
Blown sideburns.
"That's right. I'm not good at magic, so I can only bring her here to see if you can help."
"There are many possible causes for the things you talked about with me. I need to know more about this girl so that I can identify the specific situation and know how to solve it." Master Lintian stepped forward and lowered his eyes.
He raised his hair and sighed softly.
"You guys come with me first."
They followed Master Lintian and walked in the opposite direction to the way they came. After a while, Yin Quan saw a small courtyard. It was simple and clean, which was in line with the imagination of a hermit's residence. The courtyard was empty, except for some
There are simple wooden and stone tables and benches, and there are no servants or disciples in sight.
"This is my place of cultivation." Master Lintian, who was leading the way, opened the courtyard door. He seemed to have read her thoughts and said, "I usually meditate here alone, and there are few visitors.
I'm just taking care of my simple daily life. I don't dare to delay Miss Yin Huan's affairs, so I have to be careless about the food and tea."
"It doesn't matter."
Master Lintian brought them into a side room. The furnishings inside were also very simple. There were several futons, a low table, some pens and ink, yellow paper, cinnabar and other objects. Yin Quan sat next to Shui Wujun.
Come down and listen to her and Master Lintian briefly retelling their story, from the midwife's strange behavior at birth to the final recent tragedy. Lintian
The teacher occasionally asked questions about details, but more often than not, he just lowered his head and pondered. In his long life, he must have dealt with many mysterious and weird things. He may have seen similar situations, but it was difficult to explain them with just a few words.
He made an assertion. After Shui Wujun finished speaking, after a period of silence, Master Lin Tian looked at Yin Huan and asked gently:
"Miss Yin Huan, I want to take a little blood from your fingertips, draw a talisman to form a formation, and find out something unknown to you and me. Maybe it is the people and things you have come into contact with, or a more distant past... Do you mind?"
Of course she didn't mind. It would be better to say that the current price was much lighter than what she expected to pay. She shook her head and stretched out her delicate hand. After seeing her hand, Master Lintian let out a small sigh.
. She probably knew that compared to others, her hands were too thin and too white. That was natural, she always
It is normal to stay in the house all day long without seeing the sun. It is normal to be much whiter than others. In fact, when there is no one in the courtyard, a maid will come to open the door and let her go out to exercise and bask in the sun. She has been out before
A few times, I felt bored and walked into the house again. There was only the same scenery outside.
Color can be seen from the window all year round, and she knows every flower and tree. What makes her even more unbearable is that this behavior is really the same as walking a dog - she feels unspeakably offensive, but there is nothing she can do about it. Elders
When they remembered it, they felt pitiful and gave them a chance to relax, and then hurriedly chased them away.
Go back into the circle. Although no one had this intention, she knew that even those maids would pity her in their hearts. She only felt that she was a caged bird. After being locked up for too long, she was unwilling to get out.
Just like even if the cage door is opened, the thin chain tied to the foot can never be broken free.
