Hearing what Ren Jianmo said, everyone's eyes lit up suddenly, showing expressions of surprise and joy.
The second young master of the Dong family has been hunted down by the Holy Court Army these days, and most of the people brought out have gone, and he almost died several times.
If it is really possible to open the former emperor's tomb in Lishan and get tens of thousands of zombie soldiers, it would be fine, but now the journey is not over half, and there are at least five or six days to go, Dong Jing really doesn't want to continue fighting with those Xiyi soldiers. The cavalry quarreled.
So when they heard that the red-haired woman in front of them had a way to help them get rid of the Holy Court's pursuers, the one with the most excited expression immediately became the second young master of the Dong family.
"Are you serious?"
He rushed forward and grabbed the girl's bony palm, ignoring the language gap, raised his voice, and asked repeatedly:
"Really? Can you really help us avoid those people?!"
Yi Lianna blinked her bright blue eyes, and met the eyes of this young man in skirt pants, with braids and a male duck voice when he spoke. For some reason, he was so lucky that he guessed The meaning of the other party's series of questions.
The girl nodded slowly and slowly:
"Yes, I can."
Next, Elena displayed the power of the witch's blood that she inherited from her mother in front of everyone.
"Is there a map or a sand table or something?"
The red-haired girl asked Ji Thrush and the others.
"The more detailed the better, the more accurate the results of the divination will be."
Uncle Zhong had a map on him, he quickly took it out, and spread it out in front of Elena.
Ji Thrush also leaned over to have a look curiously.
Unlike modern maps that are marked with contour lines and scales and are accurate to centimeters, the maps of this era are still very rough. They only outline the general trend of mountains, rivers and rivers with ink on cowhide scrolls, as well as the locations of some major villages, towns and cities along the way. location only.
However, Ji Thrush seemed confused, while the other "natives" seemed to take it for granted. Even Elena nodded and said that it was all right.
Then the girl asked for a round spherical metal object.
"Anything will do, but it has to be all metal, and it needs to have a fulcrum where you can hold it with a thread."
She stretched out a finger and made a "shake" motion.
"You mean, like a pendulum?"
Ji Thrush thought about it, and guessed that mechanical clocks driven by springs should have appeared in Western Europe during this period. It is not surprising that the girl has seen a pendulum.
"right!"
The red-haired girl nodded vigorously, "That's what it is!"
Ji Xiaoniao didn't have any suitable small items on hand, so he relayed Elena's request to the master and servant of the Dong family.
"Oh, metal rings."
Without further ado, Dong Jing took off a gold ring from his left index finger and handed it over, "Can this work?"
Elena nodded yes.
She plucked two slightly curly red hairs from her head, tied them carefully to the ring, and made the gold ring into a pendant.
Then the girl held the end of her hair and hung the ring on the map like a pendulum.
It's completely different from the movies about witches or wizards that Season Thrasher has seen, when Elena does divination, she doesn't need sage or other incense, and she doesn't need to be locked in a small room. Draw complex magic circles or hold weird rituals in the dark room.
In broad daylight, under the bright sky, the red-haired girl sat on the ground with her knees bent, holding a ring in one hand, and started her divination.
Yi Lianna has a shoulder injury, even if she just maintains a posture with one hand hanging in the air, it will be very hard, but at this moment, she seems to have entered a mysterious and indescribable realm, the focus of her beautiful azure blue pupils Letting go, he sang a ballad with strange grammar and long rhythm, and at the same time, the hand holding the pendant was surprisingly steady, without even the slightest sway.
The pendant moved slowly and slowly on the map.
The small golden ring adorned with red hair has been kept hanging under even force, very stable.
It wasn't until it suddenly reached directly above a certain point that it suddenly began to shake obviously like a pendulum on the hour.
Elena's humming did not stop.
The pendulum is still moving forward along the trend of ink landscapes.
Miraculously, when it leaves a specific point, the sharp swing immediately stops, and it returns to a quiet and drooping state.
After that, the process of shaking the pendant was repeated two more times.
When Elena finished singing for the third time, she lowered her arms and let out a long breath of relief.
"found it."
The girl's face was pale, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, her lips were so white that she was blue, and her voice was so soft that it could even be described as "misty". Against a face that was already too thin, she didn't need any special effects You can COS the ghost of the castle with makeup.
But her eyes were still very bright.
And although the smile on his lips was weak, it was filled with the joy of relief.
"Here, here, and here."
Elena stretched out her hand and tapped the map three times with her fingertips.
Ji Thrush remembered that these three points were the places where the pendant once swayed above.
"Tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning, twelve o'clock in the noon and nine o'clock in the evening, the paladin team responsible for hunting you will appear in these three places."
Ren Jianmo relayed the meaning of the red-haired girl verbatim to the rest of the team.
"My God!"
Zhuzi looked at the map and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"This, isn't this the path we are taking now!"
He raised his hand and wiped his forehead with his sleeve:
"This... If we continue to walk this way, we will definitely let them catch up again!"
Ji Thrush wants to ask Elena, how sure are you of your divination results
Just as he was rummaging through the word bank in his memory, trying to figure out how to phrase it, Ren Jianmo had already looked at the red-haired girl again, and used his ability to get the answer he wanted.
"Elena said that her divination has always been very accurate."
Ren Jianmo said:
"Unless there are other more powerful wizards who change her divination results, tomorrow's paladin squad will definitely appear in these three places at the time she said."
"Understood."
Ji Thrush smiled brightly, and said to himself that we really have a good understanding, and we want to go together:
"Then, we just need to avoid the pursuers and choose another way to go."
The master and servant of the Dong family also felt the same way.
So they didn't delay any further, and immediately gathered together. After careful study, they selected another country road separated by a whole mountain from the route pursued by the paladins.
"If we're going south, we've got to get over this hill before dark."
Zhuzi is the one who is most familiar with the terrain in this area, "So we'd better not delay any longer and leave now."
Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo naturally had no objections.
A group of people quickly packed up their luggage, and they were about to continue to set off.
Before leaving, Dong Jing glanced at Yi Lianna, and saw that she was holding half a bun in one hand, with a look of reluctance to let go, while she was still holding her gold ring in the other hand.
"Humph!"
He let out a low snort of disdain from his nostrils, and then raised his finger to point to the bun and ring in the girl's hand.
"I gave you both of those things."
Anyway, he is a dignified second young master of the Dong family, and he does not lack a few bites of food, let alone a gold ring, so that he will not have to borrow it when he does the calculation tomorrow.
Elena blinked, then suddenly grinned.
She wolfed down the bread, and when being carried by the zombie mercenaries, she carefully and preciously put the gold ring on her left index finger.
This is the first and only gift the girl has received since she was born.
&&& &&& &&&
Because of the temporary adjustment of the traveling route, the group had to hastily end their lunch break and hurried on their way.
They walked all the way from noon to Sunset West Mountain before bypassing this mountain and continuing along the opposite canyon.
The crowd walked for six hours at a rapid march, not to mention Elena, who was seriously injured and weak, after four hours, even the second young master of the Dong family couldn't take it anymore.
Fortunately, they brought a lot of zombies.
So the two "sisters" in the team, one real and one fake, lay on the backs of the zombies as if they had lost their bones, and rushed on their backs with tireless hard work.
Six living people and twelve living corpses cleared a clearing in a forest in the canyon, preparing to camp overnight.
Elena picked a blade of grass on the spot, rolled it into a small whistle, put it on her lips and blew a few times.
The whistle sounded very much like the mournful cry of a night owl, not at all obtrusive in the wild at night.
Soon, Ji Thrush felt rustling sounds from the treetops above his head.
He quickly raised his head, and met several pairs of yellow, faint, round and bright eyes.
Ji Xiaoniao was so frightened that he managed to swish a few arrows at the thing on the tree without turning into "Silence and Silence" on the spot.
Fortunately, Elena explained in time that this is the owl she summoned, and they are more reliable than humans to watch out at night.
Only then did Ji Thrush let go of his tense nerves.
But even though the forest was dense and there were night owls watching the night, they still didn't dare to start a fire rashly, so they had to continue eating dry food to satisfy their hunger.
After Ji Xiaoniao has a storage ring, she can store more things from the "Peach Blossom Spring".
Before leaving, Binglu reminded him that he must bring enough food when he went to those war-torn "worlds", so the season thrush stuffed enough dry food for two people in the space ring for ten days and half a month with drinking water.
—As for why there are two of them, of course it is because the virtuous classmate Ji Xiaoniao also counts the beauty of his family as a beauty.
As a result, this preparedness came in handy at this time.
When a few people were sitting around the camp, Ji Thrush took out a hot dog with sausages in it from the portable space, flipped through it again, and took out a small bottle of mayo mustard, squeezed it full on the hot dog, and then casually Handed it to Ren Jianmo.
