Seeking the Flying Sword Path Chapter 28: Secret letter
bsp;Cangya Mountain has continuous mountains.
"Let's go to Wuhu Canyon." Yi Xiao ordered, "Mr. Qian, please find out where to go to avoid the monsters."
"Okay, let me investigate."
The nose of Uncle Qian, the skinny old monster servant, changed and turned into a black dog nose. He sniffed and distinguished countless scents.
Qin Yun watched from the side, even the dog that had not turned into a monster had a very sharp nose. This dog demon's nose is even more clever. Not to mention the strength of this old demon servant, it has surpassed the nineteen demon leaders under the water god.
"This Cangya Mountain is indeed the largest mountain in Guangling County. There are indeed many monsters lurking here. I have found many monsters within ten miles." Qian Shu, the old monster servant, said, "Follow me. Lead the way."
"Let's go."
Yi Xiao, Qin Yun, and Jia Huairen all followed quickly.
Move forward.
Under the leadership of Uncle Qian, Qin Yun and the others really didn't encounter any monsters.
After traveling for half an hour in the deep mountains, the old monster servant "Uncle Qian" sniffed from time to time. Suddenly he stopped and whispered: "Miss Yi, there is Wuhu Canyon three miles ahead. Wuhu There are a lot of monsters in the canyon, so they must be living together. But I can tell that there are at least hundreds of monsters living there."
"There are at least over a hundred monsters hidden in a foggy lake canyon?" Yi Xiao also changed his face slightly.
Even little demons usually have the strength of the tenth level of Qi refining that can open the gate of immortality.
For example, when Qin Yun killed the old demon Chu Yong in the underground palace, he was besieged by seven little demons. In fact, all seven little demons were very difficult to deal with! If there were hundreds of such little monsters... practitioners would also feel afraid.
"The Thousand-Year Ice Jade Fruit is in Wuhu Canyon. Hundreds of monsters are there, probably to guard the Thousand-Year Ice Jade Fruit." Yi Xiao said, "It seems that the monsters also value this spiritual fruit."
"Miss Yi, what should we do next?" Uncle Qian, the old monster servant asked, "There are too many monsters in Wuhu Canyon."
"First enter the Wuhu Canyon and find a place where you can see the thousand-year-old ice jade fruit trees." Miss Yi solemnly said, "We must be sure to see the mature ice jade fruit!"
"Okay."
Uncle Qian, the old servant of the monster, immediately led the way without any complaints.
"Enter Wuhu Canyon now?" Jia Huairen whispered, "Should we wait until the time comes before entering?"
"If you go in after the time has come, and you find that the spiritual fruits have already matured and been picked as soon as you enter, it will be too late. Moreover, after you go in, you have to decide the route and method for picking the fruits, so you must go in early." Miss Yi Xiao scanned Looking at Jia Huairen, "Why, are you scared?"
"No, I'm not afraid. How could I be afraid?" Jia Huairen also knew that he couldn't retreat when it came to this.
Qin Yun seemed very calm. After all, someone who had been at the border border in the North for three years didn't feel a trace of nervousness at this moment.
For only three miles, the four of them were moving slower and slower, fearing that the monsters would notice their movements.
"See it."
On the mountainside, Qin Yun and the four of them looked at the canyon below.
The most conspicuous thing in the Misty Lake Canyon is a lake that emits heat. The water of this lake is warm all year round, the heat rises, and the mist fills the air. Also known as ‘fog lake’. Not far from the foggy lake, there is a fruit tree whose entire body looks like it was carved out of ice. When the fruit tree is exposed to sunlight, even if there is fog, you can still see the refraction of sunlight.
There is a green fruit on this fruit tree, just that one fruit.
There are more than ten monsters standing around, bored! Throughout the canyon, at a glance, you can see twenty or thirty monsters scattered everywhere. Even on the mountainside on both sides, there are monsters guarding it. If these monsters were hiding in a human city, they would naturally look completely humanoid, but there is no need to do so in deep mountains and lakes. Each one of them has a beast head on his head, or has a weapon at hand, or has a weapon on his waist.
"There are also seven or eight monsters hiding in the mountain walls on both sides. They should be observing all directions." Uncle Qian, the old monster servant, sniffed and whispered, "There are thirty or forty monsters in the canyon. I'm on patrol, and the house in the center should be where the monsters take turns to rest. I can feel that most of the monsters are in that house."
Qin Yun looked down and saw that the house occupied a large area, but the construction was very rough. After all, it was to protect the temporary residence of the 'Millennium Ice Jade Fruit'.
"Miss Yi, why did you go there to collect spiritual fruits?" Qin Yun asked.
"The fruit trees are surrounded by flat ground." Yi Xiao frowned and whispered, "More than ten monsters are surrounding the fruit trees, and there are twenty or thirty monsters a little further away. If there is a slight movement, the monsters in the house will Many other monsters are afraid to come out. The canyon is so spacious that you can see clearly. If you want to go there and pick the fruits, you must rely on invisibility."
"Invisibility?" Qin Yun's eyes lit up.
Invisibility is an extremely difficult spell to practice, and it is only possible for talented people with innate skills to master it. As for monsters? Monsters have different talents because of their different races. Some are born with the ability to burrow into the ground, some are born with the ability to fly, and some are born with the ability to become invisible, which is beyond envy. Monsters also envy human practitioners for their high 'enlightenment'.
A monster who has practiced for thousands of years is not as good as the best human practitioner who has practiced for ten years!
But humans still envy monsters their long lifespan! An expert in the innate golden elixir realm only has a life span of 500 years.
Each has its own advantages.
"I'm afraid Brother Qin is the only one who can go pick the fruits." Yi Xiao said, "I'm afraid Jia Huairen doesn't have the guts to go pick the fruits, and Mr. Qian can't use Taoist charms."
"It's up to Brother Qin." Jia Huairen also smiled apologetically.
Just kidding.
I went to pick fruit, but I was unlucky and was discovered before I even touched the fruit.
Even if you are so powerful that you can avoid being discovered, once you pick the fruit, the monsters will immediately discover it. At that time, it is likely to face a siege.
"Okay, leave it to me." Qin Yun nodded, and he knew that he was the only one to do this task.
Yi Xiao took out a Taoist talisman from his arms.
Qin Yun took a look and saw that it was an invisibility talisman. To be honest, he also had one! However, the invisibility charm is quite expensive. It is not easy for him to accumulate some resources as a casual cultivator. How can he compare with the disciples of the top sects?
"Brother Qin, picking fruits is the most dangerous. Please trouble Brother Qin. If you really can't do it, you have to give up the spiritual fruit to save your own life." Yi Xiao handed the Taoist Talisman to Qin Yun.
"Don't worry, I will definitely save my life first." Qin Yun took it.
"We'll see what Brother Qin does later." Jia Huairen was also complimenting him. Ever since he knew that Qin Yun could kill terrifying monsters like the Rhinoceros Demon with a single sword, Jia Huairen was afraid of Qin Yun. After all... Facing any terrifying strong man who can kill him with one move, he naturally lacks confidence. Jia Huairen has not experienced many major dangers.
Qin Yun looked down, thinking about the general route.
"Come on, let's keep getting closer." Yi Xiao said, "We can meet Brother Qin later."
"Continue to get closer?" Jia Huairen's face changed slightly.
"If we were hundreds of feet away from him, we wouldn't be able to respond when he picked the fruit." Yi Xiao said, "Let's go on."
Qin Yun smiled and glanced at Yi Xiao. This girl Yi Xiao was quite decisive.
This time the four of them were more careful.
Qin Yun and Miss Yi Xiao both opened their Dharma Eyes to look around, but they mainly relied on the old monster servant Uncle Qian! Because the viewing range of the Dharma Eye is limited, just like when Qin Yun opened the Dharma Eye, he would not be able to see the monsters in the underground palace if the distance was a little further.
Uncle Qian, the old servant of the monster, led the three of them very carefully as they tried to get as close as possible to the thousand-year-old ice jade fruit tree.
"We can't get any closer. We are still sixty feet away from the fruit trees." The old servant Uncle Qian said, "Fortunately, the number of monsters is small, and there are only dozens of guards around, plus the monsters are lazy. If The human army is on alert and cannot get so close."
"Sixty feet is enough." Miss Yi Xiao nodded. At this distance, her thunder method could support him.
If we were separated by hundreds of feet like before, there was nothing we could do.
"Now we just need to wait until the spiritual fruit matures." Miss Yi Xiao said in a message.
"Yeah."
Everyone present, including Qin Yun, completely restrained their movements and waited silently for the spiritual fruit to mature.
******
And on the official road.
As early as midnight, the city gate was quietly opened. The county guard and his team who left Guangling County were about to arrive in Yu'an County. However, according to the plan, they would not enter Yu'an County, but go directly to Cangya Mountain. At the foot of the mountain.
The Sheriff is sitting in a carriage, and around the carriage are a group of masters of the Guards, including Commander Fang, who is naturally following him at all times.
"Huh."
A flying eagle swooped down from the sky.
"Huh?" One of the guards raised his head and immediately stretched out his hand, and the flying eagle landed on his arm.
The personal guard took the secret message from Fei Ying's calf and handed it to the governor's son 'Wen Chong' beside him.
"Letter?" Wen Chong took it and frowned when he saw the mark on the letter. He opened the rolled up secret letter and took a look.
"Stop, daddy, daddy."
Wen Chong shouted.
The entire team stopped, and the old county guard opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside: "What's the matter?"
Wen Chong handed over the secret letter.
The old county guard took it and looked at it. The content of the secret message was very simple: "I heard that the Water God invited his junior brother 'White Tiger Demon' to come to Guangling County to help guard the Millennium Ice Jade Fruit."
Just one sentence made the old county guard's heart instantly freeze!
"White Tiger Demon?"
"The Water God invited his junior brother White Tiger Demon to help?"
The old county guard's heart was trembling, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? God wants to destroy me, God wants to destroy me?" The old county guard murmured.
"Hasn't the White Tiger Demon been entrenched in the Heifeng Ridge area of Zhenshan County for a long time? The three thousand little demons in Heifengling listen to his orders. This White Tiger Demon is good at controlling the wind and can fly between heaven and earth. How can such a great demon and water **** Is he a senior brother? He was asked to guard the Millennium Ice Jade Fruit?" Wen Chong was also a little panicked. After all, if he couldn't get the Ice Jade Fruit, his father would not be able to live for a few more years.
"These great demons all have their own cultivation methods." The old county guard said in a low voice, "The cultivation methods naturally have inheritance. It is normal to have masters and brothers. I originally thought... the water **** is The disaster is so great that I don’t dare to go too far away from the rivers and lakes. There are probably more monsters on Cangya Mountain. I didn’t expect him to invite the Great White Tiger Demon!”
"Could the news be false?" Wen Chong couldn't help but ask.
There are humans who take refuge in monsters.
Similarly, there are also some little demons who have taken refuge in the human race and received many benefits from the human race. The person who sent the secret message this time was a monster who had taken refuge with the Sheriff.
"Since they say it's the Great White Tiger Demon, I'm afraid it's probably true." Although the old county guard didn't want to believe it in his heart, he was old and mature, so he naturally knew that the news was very likely to be true. "The Water God doesn't know this. The exact time for the Millennium Ice Jade Fruit to mature can be estimated to be approximately ten and a half months, so he asked his junior brother, the Great White Tiger Demon, to help guard it for ten and a half months."
"Just this thousand-year ice jade fruit, can you extend your life? He has a very long lifespan as a monster, what kind of life extension do you want?" The old man in the county guard looked a little ferocious.
"What should we do?" Wen Chong also panicked.
"If the White Tiger Demon is here, Yi Xiao, Qin Yun and the others will have no hope." The old county guard said in a low voice, "The trouble is, I'm worried about whether they can come back alive, especially Yi Xiao, if they die in Cangya Mountain... …The Yi clan and even the Shenxiao Sect will not give up easily.”
"I'll send someone to spread the news right now." Wen Chong said.
The old county guard looked at the sky outside the window and sighed: "It's too late, it's almost time. From here to Cangya Mountain, then into the mountain, and then to Wuhu Canyon, it's too late, too late!"
The old county guard closed the curtains after finishing speaking.
"Are you still going forward?" Wen Chong asked.
"Go on, wait at the foot of Cangya Mountain. Maybe we can wait until they come out." The voice of the old county guard suddenly seemed to be much older. If the white tiger demon was there, the old county guard himself would not be able to see anything. Is the hope of obtaining the Millennium Ice Jade Fruit and the hope of extending life for twenty years just cut off?
"White Tiger Demon, White Tiger Demon..." There were whispers in the carriage.
Wen Chong's face darkened a bit, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Keep going."
