Walking among the woods, it is said that this forest did not exist here. Before the unification of the Fantasy Continent, a bloody war broke out here, which has not yet ended. The city lord at that time was also a strange person, and he actually knew how to use the elements of life.
, in order to protect his soldiers and people, he used his own life as a mortgage to form this dense forest overnight. As long as the enemy troops entered, they would lose their way and could only wait for their lives to dry up. From then on, the forest remained
It was preserved and the mainland was unified. For convenience, the royal family spent countless manpower and material resources to open up this passage for the common people to use.
Others also tried to enter the forest. It is said that the soul of the city lord is still inside, but as long as people leave this road, no matter how powerful they are, they will never come back. Therefore, as long as nothing happens, ordinary people will definitely not enter.
In this forest, even in this safe passage, business travelers come and go in groups, so you can feel a little more at ease.
Jian Hanshang and others were walking among the woods. The dense leaves blocked the sunlight above their heads, making the surroundings look particularly quiet. Looking to both sides of the road, except for the trees that were closer, they could clearly see the rest.
The darkness, as if shrouded in miasma, made everyone feel particularly uncomfortable.
In the huge woods, there were no insects or even birds, making everything very strange. Only then did Jian Hanshang understand why ordinary people did not dare to pass by here at will. It was because this forest brought infinite happiness to people's hearts.
Fear, looking at the eleven people around him, Murong Yu's face was a little pale, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes. The most indifferent ones were Yuansi, Zhikong and Zhinan.
But their lips moved slightly, and the obscure Buddhist scriptures reached Jian Hanshang's ears through their mental power. This was the invisible influence of the forest on them. Most of the others' eyes were solemn, and they seemed to be taboo about this place.
Yes, the powerful mental power spread out exponentially. Jian Hanshang was not afraid of ghosts and other things, but she was very curious about this forest.
The area covered by the forest is very wide. The group of people walked until noon, which was more than halfway through. They couldn't delay it. However, seeing everyone's fatigue, they had concentrated their attention just now. Now their energy has long been exhausted. Jian Yanshang consciously stopped the Warcraft.
Steps forward: "Let's take a rest first. This forest is very weird. Don't get separated, lest something happens and you can't deal with it in time. Remember, nothing can stop us from moving forward. We are here to complete the mission.
, not here for adventure.”
Jian Hanshang's words were straightforward. She believed those people would listen to her. She had lived a lot in the wild in her previous life, but she had never seen such a strange forest, so she did not dare to make any negligence. Until now
He also spread his mental power outside, but he couldn't feel where the edge of the forest was.
"Let's all have a rest. Walking in this forest is really tiring, and the Wuji Forest is not this weird." Gu Luo spoke. In the early years, Gu Luo and Wen Weihan were both from Huandu Academy, and they did not go to the Wuji Forest.
I have done it once or twice, and each time I went there by horse. I never thought I would go like this this time. Although I was fully prepared, I was still blinded by this forest.
The rest of the people did not dare to say anything. Except for Jian Yanshang and Ning You, all the other students from Huandu Academy present were Gu Luo's disciples. How dare they not listen to their master's words? As a result, everyone got off their mounts and did not dare to let go.
The horses walked away and tied them to the trees. The twelve people sat on the ground and each took out dry food from the storage space to eat.
Jian Hanshang thinks this storage space is good, but it cannot keep food fresh. If it can, that would be great. She can bring some fresh fruits and vegetables and eat them at any time. It is much better than dry steamed buns. , just when everyone was eating enthusiastically, there was a figure flapping its wings in the sky, and then a snow-white pigeon appeared in everyone's sight and landed next to Gu Luo.
All eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Luo. He casually pulled out the note from the bamboo tube at Pigeon's feet and opened it. However, his originally indifferent eyes suddenly changed, with strong surprise and annoyance: "Master, something happened. What's the matter?" Jian Hange stepped forward and looked at the contents of the note without going beyond the point.
"The dean said that several guards guarding the boundless forest have disappeared and asked me to come forward." I never thought that things would become so serious overnight, and everyone present couldn't help but feel worried.
Above the sky, the sound of birds chirping came from the flying monsters of Huandu Academy: "The guardians are people from the academy, Foyin Temple and Wantian Valley. The three masters and Ning You will also go with the Guluo mentor. It's good to have some care." Jian Yanshang knew that this matter was not trivial. Although the guards were not the most capable, there must be a reason why they disappeared like this. If they didn't investigate clearly, there would be no hope of solving the next matter. .
"Xiao Jian, I want to be with you." Ning You immediately disagreed after hearing this. He ran to Jian Hanshang and grabbed her arm tightly.
"Ayou, there are your relatives there. Don't you want to protect your relatives? They are still waiting for you to save them." Jian Hanshang didn't think much about it. It was inappropriate for Gu Luo to go alone. Ning You was simple-minded. But he is good at poison, so he will definitely not be a hindrance.
"But I don't want to leave Xiao Jian." After some hesitation, Ning You still chose to be with Jian Hanshang, his lips pursed slightly.
"Did Ning You forget what your grandfather wanted you to do? Those people are from your Wantian Valley, and you are the young master of Wantian Valley!" Jian Yanshang frowned and shouted sternly.
That is Ning You's responsibility. He doesn't know how to take the responsibility now. How can he support the huge Wantian Valley in the future and how to make Wantian Valley continue to prosper? Ning You's eyes were filled with tears when he said this, but he still couldn't bear it. It didn't fall. He knew that Jian Hanshang didn't like him crying, so he held back his tears: "Xiao Jian, don't be angry. Isn't it okay if I go? By the way, keep this. It contains poison, but you must not do it unless you have to." use!"
"Okay, remember to listen carefully to Master Gu Luo, I will go find you." Seeing Ning You's pitiful appearance, Jian Yanshang couldn't say anything cruel no matter how cruel he was, so he had to take the bottle. , said softly.
Ning You's words immediately turned his tears into a smile. He let go of Jian Hanshang's arm and walked to Gu Luo: "Xiao Jian, then I'll wait for you to come to me." The bright smile seemed to pour all the sunshine into it. Feeling such warmth on his body, Jian Hanshang nodded slowly and turned his eyes to Yuan Si and the others.
"Let me and Zhi Nan go away for a while. Zhi Kong is a smart kid and is also the abbot's disciple. Just stay and do your best."
Since Yuan Si said this, Jian Hanshang and others couldn't refuse, so they raised their hands and said, "Master, you're welcome. Senior Brother Zhikong is very smart. Shang'er also wants to ask for advice. Please feel free to deal with important matters, master." Yuan Si nodded with a smile, and the group of four turned into a few streaks of light and flew over the flying monster. Its broad wings raised strong winds, and soon they disappeared without a trace, and the forest returned to calm again.
