At first, Springfield was still immersed in doubts about discovering the mountain village, but as she walked into the thick fog ahead, when the mountains, rivers and countryside hidden in the thick fog became real, all that was left in her heart was shock.
Who would have thought that such a paradise hidden in the clouds and mist would suddenly appear in the unobstructed hilly area?
The landscape in front of her was more beautiful and magnificent than any landscape she had ever seen, but there was also a lot of peace in this surprise, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Even a woman like Springfield who has no interest in mountains, rivers, wind and moon,
At this moment, I am in the mountains and rivers without stopping to look around. It seems that I have forgotten the purpose of coming here.
Xia Shang looked at Chuntian's expression and asked with a smile: "What are you looking for? Aren't you looking for the princess? The princess is right in front of you."
Only then did Chuntian recover his thoughts, followed Xia Shang's footsteps, walked behind Xia Shang, and couldn't help but ask: "What on earth is this place? Why is there a spirituality between the mountains and rivers? I have seen it before
The landscapes are all different.”
"The world is vast, the land is vast, and the resources are vast. There are countless strange mountains and rivers. How can you, a young girl, see everything?"
"..." Springfield frowned and did not answer.
"Your princess has always liked pastoral life, and now that she lives here, she is no longer happy to miss Shu."
"Do you want to miss Shu?" Chuntian didn't understand.
"Well... I just don't want to go home."
Springfield thought and nodded unconsciously. She was not very familiar with the princess, but she had also heard about her temperament and knew that the princess liked such pastoral scenery. It would be really possible for her to stay in such a pleasant place.
What are you thinking about?
At the foot of Zhaori Mountain, the fairy-like landscape always gives people a sense of tranquility and peace.
When they arrived, the three of them were still a little tired from the long journey, but they gradually forgot about their tiredness and unconsciously began to enjoy everything in front of them.
The other woman next to Xia Shang was also very involved, looking at everything around her quietly, with a rare trace of yearning on her face.
With Chunjiao's temperament, just the scenery of mountains and rivers can make her look forward to it, which is not easy to achieve.
Xia Shang asked curiously: "How is it? Is this your first time here too?"
Chunjiao nodded: "I have heard people say before that the Mingjiao established by the adults in Jianghu is in a paradise. Before, my subordinates thought it was a deliberate exaggeration. Now looking at it, their statement is not exaggerated at all.
"
"Oh? You haven't been here before sending Jizi here?"
"I just handed over Yoshiko to a trustworthy subordinate. That person was selected from the inspectors to join the Ming Cult. I didn't tell him Yoshiko's identity. I just asked her to be sent to Asahi Mountain." After saying this, Chun Jiao paused and said,
"I didn't tell you that I would send Miss Yoshiko here before, but I didn't expect that after you thought about it for a moment, you would think of me together."
Xia Shang smiled: "Which place in the world is the safest? Of course it is Zhaori Mountain, which is protected by a large natural formation. You also know that there is such a landscape, so you will naturally arrange Jizi here.
"
While the two were talking, a shout suddenly came from the front: "Who is that person?!"
Four or five strong men emerged from nowhere, each holding a stick or a pick, and stopped in front of the three of them with great vigilance.
The two women said nothing and both looked at Xia Shang.
Xia Shang said to the several strong men in front of him: "The person responsible for checking out outsiders should be from the Mingjiao. We will wait here. You go and call the people patrolling the village."
Several strong men were stunned. They didn't expect that this young man actually knew the rules of this place. They looked at each other and wondered if this could be one of their own.
After a pause, one of them asked tentatively: "Who are you?"
Xia Shang was about to answer when another voice came, which seemed a little familiar.
"What's going on here?"
Following the sound, a girl in a blue and white gown strode over, holding a sword in her hand. She was neatly dressed, walked with a breeze, and looked heroic.
Seeing this girl, several strong men gave way to the road and shouted: "Miss Ruan."
The visitor is Ruan Xi, the good disciple Xia Shang asked Xue Lengxiang to accept, and she is also a veteran figure in the Ming Cult. In the mountain village, everyone knows this young but noble girl.
"Miss Ruan, there are three strangers here."
"Stranger?" Ruan Xi left with a hint of doubt.
When he arrived in front of the crowd, he saw Xia Shang at the front, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise; "Teach..."
Before the words came out, Xia Shang shook his head gently: "Just call me Young Master."
Ruan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then saw the two strange women behind Xia Shang. She immediately realized that they might be the leader and didn't want to reveal his identity, so he quickly called out "Young Master".
Xia Shang nodded, said nothing more, and headed forward with the two people behind him.
These strong men, you look at me, I look at you, they were about to ask Miss Ruan who she was, but Miss Ruan was already following Xia Shang like an obedient child.
.
I have never seen Miss Ruan like this on weekdays. The few strong men had some questions in their minds, but they quickly dispersed.
Ahead, Ruan Xi followed Xia Shang and had many questions to ask, but when she saw that the leader was walking in a hurry and seemed very anxious, it was hard for him to ask.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Xia Shang stopped and turned around to ask Ruan Xi, "Do you remember coming to Jizi not long ago?"
Ruan Xi suddenly understood that the leader came back because of that beautiful fairy sister.
Ruan Xi nodded, and then came to Xia Shang: "Young Master, I will show you the way."
When Chuntian heard that he was finally going to see the real princess, he became anxious. He didn't speak or pay attention to everything in the mountain village, and followed Xia Shang's footsteps.
After nearly two years of development, the small village at the foot of Zhaori Mountain has grown to a considerable scale. There are at least a hundred villagers living here, which is several times that of other villages.
Originally, many people were willing to settle in this village, but as the number of people in the village increased, personnel management became more and more difficult.
Xia Shang also decided to temporarily open the large formation near Zhaori Mountain and hide the Mingjiao. Therefore, many people who came looking for it did not find this peaceful village, which made the mountain village at the foot of Zhaori Mountain even more mysterious.
.
However, even if the mountain-protecting formation is activated, it does not completely isolate everyone from the outside world. Because there are many people who come here to seek fame, there are always one or two lucky people who accidentally break through the formation, so the few just now
The villagers didn't show much surprise when they saw the outsider, but they were very wary and wanted to find out the other person's identity.
