Chapter 55: Into the Mountain
In the dark mountain forest, three figures were walking one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Xu Miaoran walked at the front of the team, she wore a coarse cloth shirt, wrapped a flower cloth on her head, her face was covered with plaster, her delicate skin was hidden under camouflage, she lost her previous moving color, and the whole person no longer looked like a fairy at the end of the world, but more like a village girl.
Behind her were Xiantao and Hongyuan, who were also dressed as village girls, and even carried a basket in their hands, which contained some herbs picked from the mountains.
While the three of them were walking, Xu Miaoran suddenly stopped, took out a piece of light yarn and threw it into the air, and the three of them had already disappeared at the same time. A moment later, a cultivator flew over the heads of the three of them, looked around to see if everything was wrong, and then flew over again.
The three of them waited for a while, and when they saw that there was nothing wrong, Xu Miaoran put away the light yarn: "It's okay, keep walking." ”
Only then did she lower her head and continue to move forward like a village woman.
Hongyuan stood up, patted the mud on his body and said: "I said, Miss, since you have a phantom red yarn, why do we have to dress up like this? This dress is really uncomfortable to wear, and I haven't even had to take a bath. ”
"Shut up. Xu Miaoran said angrily: "Do you think I want to? It's just that the blockade of the Heavenly God Palace is so good? The phantom red yarn is not perfect, in case someone accidentally discovers it, you have to count on this body." There are many people in the Tongling Mountain, and there are still some mountain people entering the mountain every year, although the Tianshen Palace has blocked the entire Tongling Mountain, it has not completely cut off the entry and exit, and this dress is the best excuse for us to cover ourselves. ”
Hong Yuan muttered and replied: "If you want me to say, he has Lao Shizi in the Heavenly God Palace to be afraid of? Even if they really find out, who would dare to be unfavorable to the young lady? The Heavenly God Palace is not afraid that my Tianya Pavilion will completely turn the other cheek with them?"
Next to him, Xiantao poked Hongyuan's forehead with his finger: "You, you're a brainless person." Of course, Miss is not afraid of what the Tenjin Palace will do to us, but don't forget the purpose of Miss's visit. If the Celestial God Palace finds out that they are here, what do you think they will do?"
"How?" asked Hongyuan blankly.
"So you're stupid!" Xiantao said angrily: "Miss is here to see Tang Zheng." Once the Heavenly God Palace finds out, they will naturally not dare to kill the young lady, but they will not dare to follow the young lady to find Tang Zheng? I am afraid that we will only see Tang Zheng on the front foot, and the pursuers of the Heavenly God Palace on the back foot will surround us, and then the young lady will not come to see people, but to harm people. ”
Hongyuan opened his mouth and was speechless for a while. It took a long time before he said: "No wonder Miss didn't notify Tang Zheng when she entered the mountain, my feelings are afraid of this." ”
"That's right. Xu Miaoran said: "Tang Zheng is now dealing with the Heavenly God Palace, and our arrival will only distract him." You need to find a suitable time to make sure that everything is okay before you can inform him. ”
"When will that be?"
"Wait slowly, look slowly, as long as you are patient, you will always find an opportunity. Xu Miaoran replied leisurely.
These words were taught to him by Tang Zai, and in the days she spent with Tang Zao, she learned a lot from Tang Zao.
One of the most important is patience.
Tang Zheng was exiled to Moqiu, and it has been more than half a year since he calculated the time, and Xu Miaoran ran away from home to find a husband, and it has been half a year.
In terms of speed alone, from Changfeng Island to Tongling Mountain, there is no need to fly for a long time, and what is delayed during this period is obstacles from all sides.
In order to pass through that blockade one by one, and at the same time not be discovered by the people of the Tianya Sea Pavilion and the Heavenly God Palace, Xu Miaoran can be said to have tried his best.
Before that, she was a lady of heaven high above, but from the day she left home, she was as terrified as a wanted criminal at the end of the world, and every day she played hide and seek with the people who came to find her and took her, fighting wits and courage, and using all her strength.
If Xu Miaoran had not experienced any hardships before this, then this pursuit battle was the most difficult moment in Xu Miaoran's life.
There is no need to go into the details of what hardships and hardships she has experienced, just look at the changes she has experienced during this period of time, and you can know what she has experienced.
The original bold and all-encompassing temperament has become stable after this experience, and the original reckless style of acting has also begun to know that she thinks twice before acting, not that she has given up the habit of true feelings and true nature of the end of the world, but after seeing a lot of ups and downs and tribulations, she instinctively has the habit of vigilance and caution.
The reason why she was able to escape the pursuit of the Tianya Pavilion was of course due to the fact that the people of the Tianya Pavilion would not kill her, and there was also the factor of her own efforts.
Broke through from the hands of the thirty-six sword-wielding disciples of the Tianya Sea Pavilion, escaped from the hands of the three true inheritance senior brothers sent by his father, and finally became the person who was arrested by the Tianya Sea Pavilion, leading all factions in the entire Yahai Pavilion, and successfully escaped from the blockade......
Just when Tang Zheng escaped from the hands of the Heavenly God Palace again and again, creating one escape miracle after another, Xu Miaoran actually set many similar records. The reason why it is not as sensational as Tang Zheng is mainly because of this hunt for the undead.
The difficult escape allowed Xu Miaoran to completely get out of the ivory tower and see the "real, cruel and wonderful world" in Tang Zheng's mouth, which made her completely understand her own shortcomings and know the gap between herself and Tang Zheng.
However, setbacks did not defeat this tenacious girl, but made her work harder.
Xu Miaoran is actually a genius in the true sense, but her background allows her to get a qiē without working too hard, so it is inevitable that she will be a little lazy. And when she really gave it her all, the energy that had been hidden for a long time exploded with amazing energy.
In just a few months, Xu Miaoran's realm has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has become enlightened. If it weren't for the fear that her strength would decline and become a burden to Tang Zheng, she would have entered the three withering now.
Because of this, even when entering the Tongling Mountain Area, Xu Miaoran still remained sober and cautious.
Although she was looking forward to seeing Tang Zheng soon, she knew that she had to wait, she had to endure, and she needed to find a better time.
So these days, she suppressed all her expectations, and wandered in the mountains like a real village girl.
Like Tang Zheng, she chose to familiarize herself with the terrain and understand the situation first, rather than stupidly crashing into it without knowing anything.
In this process, she gradually mastered many layouts that she didn't even understand, such as the Heavenly God Palace was responsible for the blockade of the internal core area, and outside the Heavenly God Palace, it was the blockade of the small sects of Moqiu, plus the blockade array built in the surrounding mountains, the entire pursuit and blockade was actually a triple ring layout, layer upon layer.
If you want to enter the inside of the mountain to find the Tang Tribulation, the first thing you have to do is to go through the external blockade array, which they have already done, the big array is easy to enter and difficult to exit, then it is to pass the blockade of various small sects, and finally to pass the blockade of the Heavenly God Palace.
Only when he got to that point would Xu Miaoran notify Tang Zheng that he was coming.
Because of this, Xu Miaoran has been waiting.
Just like she broke through the blockade of the Tianya Pavilion before, she waited slowly, waiting for an opportunity.
She doesn't know what opportunities are, but she knows that life is always full of changes, and as long as you are willing to wait patiently, no one knows when the opportunity will come suddenly.
Luck always favors those who are prepared - this is a valuable lesson that Xu Miaoran has learned during his six-month pursuit career. Maybe she can't create a zào opportunity like Tang Zheng, but at least she has done how to meet the opportunity.
So the opportunity came.
A big battle between Tang Zheng and Tianshen Palace caused a psychic mountain drama to become Xu Miaoran's best opportunity.
In that great upheaval, everyone panicked, the terrain changed, the mountains rose and fell, and the once familiar qiē was shattered, and in its place was a new and unfamiliar existence.
At the moment when everyone was panicking, Xu Miaoran began to infiltrate the mountainous area.
With the help of that upheaval in heaven and earth, she passed the outer blockade line to the blockade line of the Heavenly God Palace.
It's a pity that the mountain changed to this point, and Xu Miaoran had to stop the pace of sudden progress again, and continue to move in the mountains like a village girl, carefully avoiding a potential danger.
This is also the most dangerous period for Xu Miaoran, they are in the middle of the cracks, unable to advance or retreat.
The Heavenly God Palace is searching everywhere, and other sects are also casting nets everywhere, no one knows when the net will go down, and Tang Zheng was not caught, but Xu Miaoran was captured.
Xu Miaoran knew too well the result of being caught, even if they didn't dare to kill themselves, it didn't mean that they were so afraid of themselves that they didn't even have the slightest means. For them, that would be a good card against Tang Zheng.
Because of this, she was very, very careful, and not only that, but even made all kinds of preparations for suicide. This kind of suicide preparation may not be implemented, but it will definitely make those who want to catch her jealous.
After completing this qiē, Xu Miaoran continued to endure in this mountain, lurking, quietly waiting for the next opportunity to come.
There are always some people who are really favored by God.
Just when Xu Miaoran thought that she might have to wait for a long time, the opportunity really came again.
――――――――――――
Today, Xu Miaoran is still as usual, carefully observing in the forest area, looking at the patrol route of the Tianshen Palace, the shift change time, etc., looking for possible loopholes.
The blockade of the Tenjin Shrine in the mountain is a net-type defense.
That is, a monitoring point is set up at intervals in the mountainous area, and all movements in a certain area around the area are monitored with this point as the center to prevent escape. The biggest advantage of this approach is that it can control all parts of the mountainous area to avoid being mixed up, but the bad thing is that it is too rigid, the mutual sparseness is large, and the support is not effective.
But Nan Ningjiang is not afraid of this, he is not afraid of Tang Zheng coming out, he is afraid that Tang Zheng will not come out, in order to deal with this situation, Nan Ningjiang has already laid out his back hand, among which the dog king He Changan is his most reliable hole card.
From Tang Zheng's point of view, he needs his opponent to divide before he can kill; from Nan Ningjiang's point of view, he needs Tang Zheng to be dispatched before he has a chance to capture; these two people both know what the other party needs, so they don't care about giving each other a chance.
However, before that, Tang Zheng's energy was mainly in the mountains, and he didn't plan to play this game of cat and mouse with Nan Ningjiang for the time being, but both he and Nan Ningjiang believed that this day would come sooner or later.
Tang Zheng will definitely eat the bait, and Nan Ningjiang will also get opportunities again and again.
It's a long-term contest, and the winner is the one who has the last laugh.
Xu Miaoran didn't know this, but instinctively made her pay attention to these monitoring points and try to find opportunities in them.
Today, while she was observing attentively, suddenly there was a loud bang in the sky.
With this explosion, I saw a figure fall straight down from the sky.
This scene can surprise everyone.
You must know that this is a psychic mountainous area, and the sky is a forbidden place.
It's just a matter of flying at a low altitude, as long as it's not too high, it's generally fine, and once you fly a little higher, you may attract the blow of the mountain at any time - the last one to swagger in the air was Xuan Zhongzi, who was directly crushed by the will of the mountain.
Because of this, cultivators always enter the mountain on foot from outside, and the blockade line is basically laid out on the ground, so even if they can fly at low altitude, the height can be seen at a glance.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person fell directly from the sky, and if you look closely, it is an old man wearing a Taoist robe, a gray beard, and an old man.
The old Dao didn't seem to be affected by the mountain at all, and when he landed, he happened to be at a monitoring point, and he was confronted by ten disciples of the Blood Sect. Those disciples of the Blood Hall were shocked by this old Dao together, and they didn't know where this old Dao came from, but the old Dao glanced at the ten people, let out a surprised sound, and asked, "What a lot of melons!"
A sentence made everyone confused, not knowing what was going on, and then saw the old man pointing at them with his finger and pointing over one by one: "One, two, three, four...... Nine, ten...... Ten big fools!"
Then he clutched his stomach and laughed, looking like a fool.
Hearing this, a Blood Sect disciple couldn't help but shout anymore: "Old Dao, what are you talking nonsense? Who are you and how did you get here?"
"What are you talking nonsense about him?" another Blood Hall disciple had already shouted: "This place has been blocked, no one is allowed to enter or leave, since you are here, take it first." ”
"Be careful, it's the Tang Tribulation!" someone yelled again.
In the next moment, the ten disciples of the Blood Sect had formed a formation, showing ten golden short spears, and at the same time stabbing at the old Dao.
They are just like the bean soldiers, they have the ability to fight together, a group of ten, and the spiritual power is linked, although it is only the realm of the mortal, the spear stabbed out together, the power is not inferior to the full force of the spirit ring real person.
Seeing that the shadow of the spear shone with great brilliance, it pierced the old way.
The crazy old man looked at the spear shadow, not surprised, and smiled: "It's fun, it's fun!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the shadow of the spear.
The spear shadow was condensed by spiritual energy, and it had no substance, but at this moment, the spear shadow was actually caught in his hand, writhing like a snake, but it couldn't leave his palm.
This scene shocked everyone.
Just by grabbing it at random, you can grasp the spell attack issued by others in your hand like a real thing, how strong is this strength to do?
At least He Yueyang, Li Song and others will never be able to do it.
Xuan Zhongzi may be able to, but he may not be able to do this against the spirit ring level attack, and then look at the crazy old man, at this moment he grabbed the spear shadow in his hand, and he didn't have the slightest effort, but he was grinning while watching, as if he had seen some fun toy.
The ten disciples of the Blood Sect wanted to draw the spear but couldn't, but they felt that the aura of their whole body was continuously leaking out, and the shadow of the spear was not lost, so they were forced to use their own aura to maintain it, and the worst thing was that they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to break it at this moment.
Shocked in his heart, the Bloody Hall disciple shouted, "Withdraw the spear!"
The ten people let go at the same time, and they heard a bang, and the spears flew away, and the huge recoil force rushed the ten people into the air.
The old man saw the ten people flying, and let out a shh
As he spoke, he pointed with both hands, and ten spiritual threads had flown out between his fingers, which were wrapping around the ten people, and then he saw these ten people flying around in the air, but they didn't come down.
Those ten people were screaming in the air, but no matter how they attacked, the old man didn't care at all. I didn't see any defensive magic cover on his body, but any attack on him was like a golden stone, only making a fluttering sound, but it wouldn't even hurt Lao Dao's skin.
The disciple who was still the leader knew that something was wrong, and while "flying" in the air, he reluctantly took out the talisman, and with the flash of light, the warning signal had already been transmitted.
The warning signal is imminent, and the support of the Celestial God Palace will soon arrive.
The old man didn't care at all, his hands continued to wave, the spiritual thread in his hand has become thicker and thicker, and gradually formed a solid appearance, like a rope to tie people into a knot, and then threw it behind him, like ten feathers hanging behind him, the old Tao pinched a bird's beak, and said happily: "Peacock, I am a peacock!"
Feelings, he regarded these ten people even with the spirit rope as the feathers behind the peacock.
Faced with this scene, Xu Miaoran was also stunned.
The support from the Celestial Shrine is fast.
At this point in the time when the old Taoist was playing treasure, there was already a sound of flying in the distance.
Reinforcements from nearby surveillance points arrived first.
Xu Miaoran thought that Lao Dao was going to use his might to continue to take down these people, but he didn't expect Lao Dao to see dozens of people killing them menacingly, and he shrank his neck and shouted: "I won't play with you anymore!"
As soon as he turned around, he ran away.
He ran back and forth, but there were still ten Blood Hall disciples dragging behind his buttocks, and at this moment, all the way around, the ten Blood Hall disciples who were tied up and down with his figure, it really looked like the tail of some kind of animal, swinging rhythmically.
How could those Heavenly God Palace people be willing to let go, seeing this scene, even if the other party was not Tang Zheng, it was impossible to let it go, and they had already chased after it with an angry roar.
So I heard the rumbling and banging all the way, and it was obvious that all the pursuits of the Heavenly God Palace were swarming to block this hateful crazy old road, and the gunpowder smoke was filled all the way to the distance, but it was Xu Miaoran, who was deserted and deserted in an instant.
Xu Miaoran was flustered first, and then reacted, isn't this the best time to break through the blockade by herself?
She was refreshed, hurriedly returned to the hiding point, and called out Xiantao and Hongyuan: "Hurry up." ”
"Where are you going?" Hongyuan, who has always been naughty and a little stupid, has not yet reacted.
"Go see Tang Zheng!" Xu Miaoran replied loudly, and the person had rushed out like an arrow, heading straight for the depths of the forest area.
She rushed through the blockade, into the mountains, from the rear all the way to the front.
No turning back!
At the moment of entering the deep mountain, she finally took off the Qianli charm and wrote the sentence: "I am in the mountain." ”
A thousand words, all between these four words.
