The ascetics traveled very fast, but within ten days Wei Changsong and the others chased out of the range of the Thirteen Obstacles, but what was disappointing was that they didn't see the girl along the way.
"It must be that the other party has something that can cover up the secret." Zeng Lin'er once again used a lamp to probe for the secret, but still to no avail, she shook her head and sighed.
In the past few days, no matter what method she used, she could not figure out the whereabouts of the girl. The thirteen barriers are so big, even if you search inch by inch, the opponent doesn't know where to go.
Wei Changsong comforted calmly: "It's okay, even the national teacher can't find her traces, and it's reasonable that you can't."
"Thank you, brother." Zeng Lin'er has been in charge of investigating the situation in the ten-member team, so that they can know themselves and the enemy and win a hundred battles. But she was completely useless this time, so she felt a little guilty.
Wei Changsong said to several people: "It's true that the other party is running this way. Let's chase all the way here. If we don't see anyone within the range of the other two holy places, we have to ask the altar for reinforcements."
"Let's go, there is no delay."
Wei Changsong showed determination on his face, anyone who threatens the morality of humanity will be killed without mercy.
※※※
At this time, Yun Qing, who they were thinking of, had just reached the edge of the thirteen barriers.
The trees in the north are tall and thin, compared with the moist and lush in the south, they have a more bleak feeling. The road out of the mountain was covered with thick fallen leaves, and the sharp branches of the trees pierced the clear sky. It was late autumn, and Zheng Zhenzhen could already see the white breath she exhaled. She rubbed her hands and looked at Yun Qing who was wearing a complicated sacrificial attire.
The girl stood a little pale among the fallen leaves, closing her eyes and listening to something. She is thin and small, and always feels weak because she can't hold up her clothes, but simply standing there makes people feel unshakable.
"It's safe for the time being." Yun Qing was borrowing the heavenly book to investigate the situation of the pursuer.
After hearing this, Zheng Zhenzhen immediately cheered up: "They stopped chasing?"
Yun Qing shook her head: "It's just not as simple and rude as before."
Previously in the Thirteen Obstacles, the practice of walking the Temple of Heaven was to let someone with a special magic weapon spy on the secrets of the heavens, and if they arrived at a safe place without important sects, they would immediately let go of their strength and search the mountains. If there is any sect that deserves more attention, then they will come to visit first. Usually, the other party will agree to investigate under the pressure of Lu Tiantan, and Lu Tiantan will naturally not be polite to them.
Beyond the thirteen barriers are the orthodox places of Mianfenglang and Guiling Temple, and also the birthplace of Lutian Temple. Now that the Lutian Temple has withdrawn from this area, and even the holy altar has been moved to the more densely populated central-southern area, naturally it cannot make any major moves in this area, otherwise it will easily cause two other dissatisfaction.
This is why Yun Qing judged that they were safe for the time being.
"Let's find a place where people gather first." Yun Qing analyzed, "Mianfenglang and Guiling Temple have taken root here for many years. People can find their traces here."
"However, the selection of masters for inheritance has always been done according to fate. They must not be too high-profile even if they select disciples. What's more, they have at least tens of thousands of ways to prevent ordinary people from noticing them..." Zheng Zhenzhen said uncertainly.
She had been following Yunqing before, like a dodder without the ability to think for herself, but during this journey of escaping from the hunt, she finally began to think about some things related to her own survival.
People always have to grow up in the midst of changes and crises.
"That's right. But there are not only orthodox practitioners in this world, casual practitioners are the majority in the world of monasticism. Wherever there are people, there are casual practitioners, and these two holy places will more or less absorb some people with good hearts and aptitudes Loose cultivator. No matter what, if we want to find news about the Holy Land, we always need to contact people. Take your time... "
Yun Qing put her hands in her sleeves, her brows were tinged with coldness.
Zheng Zhenzhen nodded, and looked at the vast grassland below the mountain: "If you escape like this, you don't know when you will be tall."
"When we are strong enough to not be afraid of the Seven Holy Lands, it will naturally end." Yun Qing smiled, and suddenly plunged down towards the cliff, black flames rose from the soles of his feet, and his whole body was drawn out like a burning meteor. The sharp arc fell on the prairie below.
Zheng Zhenzhen was dumbfounded, Yun Qing could no longer be seen from her position. She swallowed, and grabbed the back of her collar with one hand.
She said to the dumb Aman with a mournful face: "Can I go down the mountain road, why do I have to jump from here...!!"
Before she finished speaking, Aman carried her and jumped down behind Yun Qing.
The huge impact force when it landed was eased by Yun Qing with flames, but at that moment Zheng Zhenzhen still felt that he was shaken to pieces.
"Wow..." Zheng Zhenzhen covered his mouth and almost spat out.
"..." Yun Qing remained suspicious for a while, "Are you afraid of heights?"
"Wow..." Zheng Zhenzhen really vomited this time.
At this time, a burst of neighing sounded from the mountain road behind.
Yun Qing turned her head, and after sweeping her mind, she found that it was a group of merchants from the Western Regions wearing woolen coats. It looked like a large caravan, with more than fifty ox carts in the entire convoy, and most of them seemed to be goods, only a few exquisite and gorgeous small ox carts were businessmen.
When the 100,000 mountains came, the people in the caravan seemed quite relaxed, and the ox carts were not damaged, so it seemed that there were practitioners sitting here.
Thinking of this, Yun Qing immediately supported Zheng Zhenzhen and waved to the team.
"Help! Help!"
Zheng Zhenzhen couldn't help feeling sorry for her when she heard her slightly immature voice, but when she thought of Yun Qing's face that was always expressionless, she couldn't help but think about it. threw up.
"Wow..." Zheng Zhenzhen vomited cooperatively.
Most of the small caravans would not dare to stay in such a deserted place, but the caravan in front of them had strong guards, and the merchants in the Western Regions believed in Buddhism, so they should be willing to help passers-by. As Yun Qing expected, several guards stopped and asked the owner of the car a few words, then walked towards them.
"Little girl, what's the problem?" The guard had a beard and a scar on his jaw, but his eyes were kind.
"My senior sister is not acclimatized, I'm afraid she's sick. No one passes by this place all year round. I thought this time would be a disaster, but unexpectedly I ran into you." Yun Qing has always been a set of nonsense. , coupled with her young age, her credibility is naturally high. Whether it was coaxing those soldiers in Jiuming City back then, or in the communication with Chen Jiukai and even Senior Sister Yu, Le Shu and others in Jingdu, there was no flaw at all.
The gratitude for these words was extremely sincere, and instead of directly asking for help, it pushed the other party to such a point where they had to help.
"Here...you wait, I'll ask."
The guard ran back to the car, asked some questions, nodded and shook his head, and finally ran back again.
"Come here, a lot of the goods have been sold this time, and I will make room for the three of you later." The guard helped Yun Qing to support Zheng Zhenzhen, and he pointed to the ox cart in the middle of the team, "Master is here There, you go and see him."
Yun Qing nodded.
"Thank you for your help." Yun Qing trotted all the way to the side of the bullock cart, and thanked the people in the cart softly.
This person didn't even ask them where they came from, and simply took them in. Either very confident, or too good-natured.
"Little sister, come in and talk." A mellow male voice with a foreign accent came from inside the car.
Yun Qing raised the curtain and went in. This time, she found that the interior of this bullock cart, which was not much different from a truck, was actually very gorgeous.
There was a thick white wool blanket on the floor, and it felt like you were sinking in when you stepped on it. Thick and rare animal skins were hung on the four walls to shelter from the wind, and the roof was wrapped with gilded silk nets with a few night pearls, illuminating the interior of the car brightly. There is also the incense of unknown ingredients, which has a feeling of calming the mind and calming the mind.
Coupled with the simple arrangement of various five-element Fengshui objects, Yun Qing is almost sure that the interior layout of the car is the handiwork of a practitioner.
"Where do you come from?"
The person who made the sound was reclined on the soft couch, covered with a thick quilt. He is more than forty years old, but his temperament is modest and gentle. It's just that this person looks sick, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like he will live long. His face was haggard, and there were a few silver strands in his black hair. His cheeks were unnaturally red, and he coughed from time to time.
"People from Jingdu. I once stayed in Lutian Temple for a while, but the practice of Lutian Temple is very cumbersome. My senior sister and I don't want to stay there after the Hundred Flowers Festival." Yun Qing didn't look cramped, and said generously .
The man nodded: "No wonder you are wearing the sacrificial attire of walking on the Temple of Heaven, are you an inner disciple?"
Yun Qing shook her head: "These clothes are for the Hundred Flowers Festival. My senior sister and I are both outer disciples."
"So that's it. My name is Yu Tu. Where are you going on this trip?" The man asked carefully. He heard that he didn't feel any reverence or admiration at the Temple of Heaven. He presumably had contact with practitioners.
"Xin Shui Ranch. Senior Sister has a bosom friend there, and we want to join him, herd sheep and practice monasticism, and live a relaxed life." Yun Qing said casually, even the name of this ranch was temporarily searched from the heavenly book.
"Coincidentally!" The man clasped his hands together, with a look of joy on his face, "We will also pass by the Xinshui Ranch during our business trip, if you don't mind, why don't you take a detour with us?"
"No problem, please take care of me." Yun Qing nodded, "My eyes are not convenient, and my senior sister is weak and sick. If I didn't meet you, it would be really troublesome."
"There are two more monks in the caravan, and my caravan will be much safer. I thank you." Yu Tu smiled kindly, "By the way, there is another monk in the caravan. At the end, if you have time, you can communicate."
Yun Qing nodded again: "Understood, then I will go and see how my senior sister is doing now."
"Go, take good care of your body so you won't get tired..." Yu Tu seemed to have thought of his own situation, he said a little gloomily.
Yun Qing turned around and got out of the car, a glint of haze flashed in her eyes.
