The sky gradually darkened, and dull thunder could be heard faintly. Accompanied by the lightning flashes of silver snakes speeding past, it seemed like a heavy downpour was about to fall.
Hu Ying, Huang Liang and I were squatting on the side of the road. The three of us looked at each other, and we all saw an indelible solemnity in each other's eyes.
That is the worry caused by being helpless and not knowing what to do.
"Let me tell you first..." Hu Ying patted the dust on his trouser legs and said in a serious tone: "This place is still six or seven days away from the Kunlun Mountains. There is no village in front and no store in the back.
There is no reason for the elders and others to do such a ridiculous thing as abandoning the car and walking."
"Their suitcases are intact, their changes of clothes are neat, and they only took away dry food and supply bags. What does this mean?"
"It shows that the situation at that time was extremely urgent and they were not allowed to take away more things. It was completely a life-saving act to escape lightly."
"Elder Du has twelve levels of martial arts, and Kunlun's most precious treasure, the Qiankun Seal, is still on his body. Most of the ten inner disciples accompanying him are not weak, and the lowest one has six levels of martial arts."
"Then what kind of enemy can force Elder Du to run away without a care?"
Hu Ying looked calmly and analyzed calmly: "Except for the Six Meridians Headmaster, I believe that only the elders of each meridian have such strength."
"Fighting alone, Elder Du, who possesses the Qiankun Seal, will not be in such a mess."
"Even if you escape, there will definitely be traces of the struggle left at the scene. There will be nothing blank. This is absolutely impossible."
"So the answer is self-evident. The disaster of the Miao border trip happened again, and Elder Du was jointly besieged."
"He sensed something was wrong in advance and was forced to abandon the car and flee."
Huang Liang echoed: "My thoughts are the same as yours, Buddhism and Yunzong are the most suspect."
"They suffered a heavy loss last time, and it's unclear whether they will be able to make a comeback this time."
"Let me tell you, the road ahead is dangerous, and we can't go any further. We need to retreat quickly, wait until the cell phone signal is restored, and notify the young master as soon as possible, and she will decide on the follow-up arrangements."
Hu Ying asked me: "Junior Brother Su, what do you think?"
I did not express my position immediately, but stood up and observed the surrounding environment and said, "In which direction do you two think Elder Du will lead his disciples to escape?"
Hu Ying followed my gaze and looked up, with a troubled expression on his face: "It's surrounded by mountains on all sides. I can't say for sure."
I took a few steps lightly and instructed Huang Liang: "Commander Huang, please look for it. No matter which mountain it is, there may be some clues left by Elder Du and his twelve people."
Huang Liang said in horror: "You, you plan to go up the mountain to rescue?"
"Junior Brother Su, with all due respect, the three of us don't have the ability to support you at all. Please don't involve yourself impulsively."
"Elder Du is willing to risk his life and run away. All we can do is wait with peace of mind."
Huang Liang persuaded me earnestly and sincerely: "Young master, you are entrusted to me. If something happens to you, my nine lives will not be enough to compensate you."
I nodded lightly and said duplicity: "I just want to determine the escape direction of Elder Du and others, so that I can save time when Xixi sends people over."
Huang Liang was relieved, and his nervous expression eased slightly and said: "Okay, I will try my best to search. But don't put too much hope in it. More than twenty days have passed, and many clues have been washed away by the rain."
With that said, he turned around and left, disappearing without a trace in a few short steps.
Hu Ying leaned against the carriage and sighed.
I returned to the car, poured myself a cup of hot tea, and communicated with Jiuyang in my mind: "Come out and have a chat."
The latter remained silent and pretended to be dead.
I sneered and said, "Why, why don't you give me the chance to control your body?"
"That thin membrane is about to burst, and your dream is about to come true. In three or four more days at most, you can take its place and become the new owner of this body."
"Tsk, I usually sneak around and try my best to fight for control. Now I'm pretending to be aloof. Who can I show to you?"
I mocked in every possible way: "I will only ask once, do you want love?"
