The streets of Fenglin Town were empty in the evening, and people in the town closed their doors early for fear of a monster breaking in.
The street was silent.
The two of them sat on the ground in the high-rise building without speaking, watching the moonlight quietly.
The moon had risen to its zenith, and the distant mountains had turned into black silhouettes.
Suddenly, a dim light came out from a valley, first scattered small dots, slowly, more and more light dots, the dots of light converged into one, and flickered in the valley.
"Is that... a mountain fire?" Mu Xiyun got up and looked at it.
"It's not like a mountain fire," Gu Qingqiao also stood up, "it's a bit like a light."
"Go and see?"
Gu Qingqiao nodded. Mu Xiyuan took out a paper crane from his sleeve and gave a low voice, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew towards the inn.
"Okay," Mu Xiyun said, "Senior Brother Su and the others will come as soon as possible when they have the news."
The two immediately unfolded their movements and swept towards the lights in the distance.
As the saying goes: "The house in the mountain, look close and cry when you walk."
The mountain road is tortuous, and it often takes a lot of time to walk the winding mountain road when looking at a place not far away.
Although they were prepared in their hearts, after an hour, the two still stopped.
"Let's go this way, an hour from the town to the valley is enough to walk back and forth." Gu Qingqiao frowned and said, "You see that the valley is still far away."
"Well," Mu Xiyuan nodded, "I'm afraid I'm in a maze. The shopkeeper of the medicine hall also said before that someone encountered a ghost hitting the wall in the mountain."
"Then what should I do? Let me see if there is any magic weapon that can be broken." Gu Qingqiao said and went to the Qiankun bag to rummage.
"No need." Mu Xiyun held him down, "Just give me a hand." After speaking, he raised a hand and stretched it out in front of Gu Qingqiao.
Holding his hand, Gu Qingqiao felt a little excited, but saw that Mu Xiyuan had closed his eyes.
Carefully feeling the direction of the spiritual energy in the formation, Mu Xiyun began to walk in the direction of emitting spiritual energy. Gu Qingqiao held his hand and helped him cross the roots of rocks and trees.
After half an hour, Gu Qingqiao suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Mu Xiyun opened his eyes, and in front of him was a steep cliff, but the spiritual power was clearly coming from behind the cliff.
"Did you know?" Mu Xiyuan smiled and said, "I met Silver Fox when I was in Evian Town."
"Silver fox?" Gu Qingqiao thought about it before he reacted, "Is that the fox demon we met in the back mountain of Moyun Mountain?"
"Well, back then he fell in love with the human woman Wanniang, but that woman died prematurely because of his demonic aura. We were entrusted by Wanniang's family to find her. When we found her, Wanniang was dead and Yinhu was already dead. She is holding Wan Niang's body and refuses to release it." Mu Xiyun said.
"Yeah..." Gu Qingqiao sighed. He remembered that back then, the fox demon didn't ask them to let it go. He didn't care about his own life at all, and only cried bitterly for the one he loved. At that time, he could not fully understand the deep affection between them, but now...
He looked up at Mu Xiyuan, but saw him smiling and said, "When I met him, he had a little red fox by his side, guess what?"
"Huh?" Gu Qingqiao raised his eyebrows.
"That little fox is actually the reincarnation of Wan Niang."
"Really?" Gu Qingqiao laughed, "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
"I said the same at the time," Mu Xiyun also laughed, "but he said, it's not so much a coincidence, it's better that Wan Niang tried her best to get back to him."
"I tried my best to get back to you..." Gu Qingqiao raised his eyes and looked at Mu Xiyuan if he felt something.
The two met their eyes and entangled gently under the moonlight.
Mu Xiyun lowered his eyes, turned towards the cliff and said, "Silver Fox also posed a similar puzzle in the mountains, and he taught me this."
After he finished speaking, he took a step, pierced through the stone, and disappeared.
Gu Qingqiao was startled and hurriedly followed.
The solid stone wall is like a light mist, and there is no obstacle when passing through, only some spiritual power fluctuations are felt.
There was darkness in the stone wall, and Gu Qingqiao rushed forward in a hurry to confirm Mu Xiyun's safety.
Mu Xiyuan was waiting a few steps ahead, and the sound of the wind breaking his clothes came quickly. Before he could react, he bumped into a warm embrace.
His shoulders were firmly grasped, and the person's hand grabbed his hand along his arm, clasping it firmly in the palm of his hand.
The two walked out from the depths of the dark stone wall together.
The eyes are bright.
A tall city wall stands in front of you, and a series of lanterns hang beside the wide gate. The city gate was wide open, and the two of them looked inside the gate and saw that the streets were prosperous and houses were lined up. Every household is lit with lights, and the warm yellow light makes people feel warm and beautiful.
"This is... a mountain city?" Gu Qingqiao wondered. At this time, the two had already avoided the side, hiding their figures behind a large rock.
"Well," Mu Xiyuan nodded and pointed to the top of the city, "Look!"
In the sky, wisps of dim yellow light were like smoke and mist, shrouding the entire mountain city.
"Evil spirit." Gu Qingqiao touched his chin, it seemed that we had found the right place.
The grass beside him rustled, and two more people turned out.
This time it was two women. A man in a red shirt with a gold ring on his hand, looking at the young woman's hair style at a young age. The other person is middle-aged and described as haggard, with fine lines on the shriveled skin, but his face is seven points similar to Feng Gu. It was Mrs. Chen, the younger sister of the shopkeeper of the medicine hall.
Chen's eyes were covered with black cloth, and the woman in red came across the cliff with the help of the woman in red.
"It's here!" The woman in red said with a smile. She let go of Chen's hand, pulled down her blindfolded black, pointed at Shancheng and said, "This is it!"
Chen Shi estimated that he had been blindfolded for a long time, and he felt dizzy when he first saw the light. After rubbing his eyes for a while, he could see the city wall in front of him clearly.
"What a big city!" Chen shi exclaimed. Immediately, she grabbed the red-clothed woman's hand and asked tremblingly, "Sister, is this the monster's city?"
"Oh, what a monster!" The woman in red said angrily, "I told you, our city master is a well-trained immortal. Before she practiced, she also married and had a child, and just like you, she lost her child. Since then, she has made a big wish to find lost children in the world, build a city, and raise those children who have lost their parents in the city. Parents who have lost their children in the world can go to the city to find their children."
"My own child..." Chen shi's eyes turned red, and she burst into tears. "Yu'er has been abducted for seven years. I don't know if she still remembers my mother."
"Hey, don't cry, don't cry!" The woman in red said anxiously: "Let's hurry into the city, this mountain city only opens like this every five years, and you won't be able to enter if it's too late!"
After speaking, the woman pulled Chen Shi and hurriedly walked towards the city gate.
The two people behind the stone watched them walk to the city gate, and the woman in red nodded to the soldiers guarding the city, and took Chen Shi into the city.
"The immortal who attained the Tao?" Gu Qingqiao snorted coldly, "Which immortal's residence is so enchanting?"
Before Mu Xiyun could answer, the two of them walked out of the stone. The same two women, one leading the other, hurried into the city.
The two hid behind the stone and saw that eight more women had entered the city. At this time, the woman in red who had led Chen's into the city hurried out of the city.
The soldier guarding the gate saw him and came forward and said, "Miss Xiaolan, haven't you brought someone in? Why are you still going out?"
Xiaolan took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and returned: "Ah, the one who just entered the city, I don't know what's wrong, but when she saw the children in the city, she immediately fainted. Help, I finally woke up, but I was so angry that I couldn't see it anymore. No, I have to go out and find another top."
The soldier guarding the city sighed: "Oh, it's really hard for you, our city lord only wants women and children, or just find someone in the town to come."
Xiaolan wiped off her sweat again and scolded: "What do you know! Forget it, I won't talk to you, it's almost dawn, I have to find someone." After speaking, she hurriedly walked towards the stone wall go.
After hearing this, the two were greatly puzzled. It sounded that the city owner of this mountain city was not a monster who kidnapped children, but a woman looking for children. Gu Qingqiao frowned, thinking about it, quietly pulled Mu Xiyuan, and quickly exited the stone wall.
When they reached the other end of the mountain, Gu Qingqiao did not stop, but dragged Mu Xiyun for more than two miles before stopping.
"I have a way to get in, and I won't startle the snake. I just want to grieve you," he said with a smile.
"Are you going to be a dancer from the Western Regions?" Mu Xiyun glanced at him and asked.
Among the two, Mu Xiyuan had a well-proportioned figure. Even if she was a woman, she was one of the few tall women. Gu Qingqiao was even half a head taller than him. Ordinary women would not be able to grow that tall. What's more, Gu Qingqiao's facial features are deep, and if she dresses up as a woman, I'm afraid she really looks like a dancer in the Western Regions.
"This..." Gu Qingqiao scratched his head and suddenly remembered that he still had half a bottle of Transforming Water on his body, which was still left in Evian Town. only…
In a moment of hesitation, the woman named Xiaolan was already showing her head over the mountain, and they could be found in less than a quarter of an hour.
Gu Qingqiao found an ordinary shirt from the Qiankun bag, put it on Mu Xiyun, untied the jade crown on his head, and let his long black hair loose.
With both hands attached to his black hair, it was braided into a long braid in no time. Gu Qingqiao wrapped the braid around the back of Mu Xiyun's head, reluctantly turning it into the simplest women's hairstyle. Then he held up the face of the person in front of him, dipped medicinal powder on his hand, and wiped it lightly.
Mu Xiyun didn't speak, and let him smear on her face.
Gu Qingqiao's eyes are extremely focused, and the skin under his fingers is fair and smooth, making people unable to stop lingering. The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, so close that even the hot breath of the other person touches the tip of the nose.
Mu Xiyun coughed lightly and turned her face slightly.
Xiaolan was about to turn around the mountain road. Gu Qingqiao then quickly let go of Mu Xiyuan, turned to a big rock, and said softly, "Wait for me."
Mu Xiyuan stared at the big stone suspiciously, not knowing what medicine he sold in the gourd.
The sound of footsteps came, Xiaolan turned out of the mountain road, and was startled by the figure in front of her.
Frightened, she patted her chest, and then Xiaolan looked intently. The woman in front of her doesn't wear Fendai, but her appearance is beautiful and refined. His brows were like smoky eyes, his jet-black hair was braided behind his head, but he was wearing an ordinary man's clothes.
"This... elder sister, what are you doing in the mountains in the middle of the night?"
Mu Xiyun turned her head to look at Xiaolan, she didn't know what to say in her heart, she could only say, "I'm here to find someone."
"Looking for someone? You also came to the mountains to find a child? But you... don't look like you!"
"What's not like?" Mu Xiyun asked suspiciously.
"You look at such a young age, when did you have a child? A son or a daughter? How old is the child?" I didn't expect this Xiaolan to be so old-fashioned.
Gu Qingqiao was shocked. Just now, the time was running out. He only thought about changing Xi Yun's facial features, but he couldn't increase his age meticulously. Mu Xiyuan's appearance, as a mother, is still too small.
Mu Xiyun turned to one side, avoiding the inquiring gaze of the woman in red. In the eyes of others, he seemed shy and said, "What son and daughter? I'm here to find my brother."
His voice was cold and pleasant to the ear, but at this moment it was difficult to distinguish male and female.
Xiao Lan still had doubts after hearing this, and was about to ask again when a six- or seven-year-old child suddenly appeared behind the big stone in front of her.
As soon as the child came out, he stood in front of Mu Xiyun and said loudly, "Sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Mu Xiyun was stopped by him like this, so he couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at the child through the moonlight.
Isn't that Xiao Liu
