Chapter 55 Entering 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 dress and a floral cloth on her head. Her face was covered with plaster. Her delicate skin was hidden under the disguise and lost its former attractive color. The whole person no longer looks like a fairy from Tianya Haige, but more like a village girl.
Behind her were Xiantao and Hongyuan, who were also dressed as village girls. They even carried a basket in their hands, which contained some herbs collected from the mountains.
While the three of them were walking, Xu Miaoran suddenly stopped, took out a piece of gauze and threw it into the air. The three of them disappeared at the same time. After a moment, a cultivator flew over the heads of the three people. He looked around for nothing, and then flew over again.
The three of them waited for a while, and when they saw nothing happened, Xu Miaoran put away the gauze: "It's okay, let's keep walking."
Then he lowered his head like a village woman and continued to move forward.
Hongyuan stood up, patted the dirt on her body and said: "Miss, since you have a magic red gauze, why do we have to dress up like this? This dress is really uncomfortable to wear, and I don't even have to take a shower. Wash, these days in the mountains, I’m really dirty.”
"Shut up." Xu Miaoran said angrily: "You think I think so? How can it be so easy just because of the blockade of Tianshen Palace? Huanhongsha is not foolproof. If someone accidentally discovers it, you have to count on it. There are many mountain people in Tongling Mountain, and some mountain people still enter the mountain every year. Although Tianshen Palace has blocked the entire Tongling Mountain, it has not completely cut off access. This outfit is the best excuse for us to protect ourselves."
Hongyuan murmured in reply: "Let me tell you, what kind of person is there in Tianshen Palace to be afraid of? Even if they really discovered it, who would dare to do anything bad to the young lady? Isn't Tianshen Palace afraid that I, Tianya Haige, will completely fall out with them? "
Next to her, Xiantao poked Hongyuan's forehead with her finger: "You are just a brainless person. Of course, Miss is not afraid of what Tianshen Palace will do to us, but don't forget the purpose of Miss Tianshen Palace. If Tianshen Palace discovers When they get here, what do you think they will do?”
"How to do it?" Hongyuan asked blankly.
"So you are stupid!" Xiantao said angrily: "The young lady is here to see Tang Jie. Once the Tianshen Palace finds out, they will naturally not dare to kill the young lady, but if they follow the young lady to find Tang Jie, wouldn't they dare? ? I’m afraid that if we see Tang Jie on the front foot, the pursuers of the Tianshen Palace will surround us, and then the lady will not come to see people, but to harm them. "
Hongyuan opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment. It took him a long time to say: "No wonder the young lady didn't notify Tang Jie when she entered the mountain. This is what she is afraid of."
"That's right." Xu Miaoran said: "Tang Jie is currently dealing with the Tianshen Palace.
Our arrival will only distract him. You need to find a suitable time and confirm that everything is complete before notifying him. "
"How long will it take?"
"Wait slowly, search slowly, as long as you have patience, you will always find an opportunity." Xu Miaoran replied leisurely.
Tang Jie taught her these words. She learned a lot from Tang Jie during her days together.
One of the most important is patience.
Tang Jie has been living in Moqiu for more than half a year. It has also been half a year since Xu Miaoran ran away from home to find her husband.
In terms of speed alone, it doesn't take that long to fly from Changfeng Island to Tongling Mountain. What delays us during this period are obstacles from all sides.
In order to pass through the blockades without being discovered by people from Tianyahai Pavilion and Tianshen Palace, Xu Miaoran tried his best.
Before that, she was the darling daughter of heaven, but from the day she left home, she became as panic-stricken as a wanted criminal in Tianya Haige. Every day, she played hide-and-seek and battled wits with those who came to take her. , try your best.
If Xu Miaoran had not experienced any hardship before, then this pursuit battle was the most difficult moment in Xu Miaoran's life.
There is no need to go into details about the difficulties and hardships she has experienced. Just look at her changes during this period and you can know everything she has experienced.
The originally bold and do-it-all temperament became stable after this experience, and the originally willful style of acting also began to know before acting. It was not that she gave up the habit of Tianya Haige's true love, but after seeing many people. After experiencing ups and downs, I instinctively developed the habit of being vigilant and cautious.
The reason why she was able to escape the pursuit of Tianyahai Pavilion was not only because the people of Tianyahai Pavilion would not kill her, but also because of her own efforts.
Breaking out from the hands of the thirty-six sword-wielding disciples of Tianya Hai Pavilion; escaping from the three true brothers sent by his father; and finally becoming a person with a bounty on his head in Tianya Hai Pavilion, motivating all the factions within Ya Hai Pavilion to arrest him, and successfully escaped. Out of lockdown...
Just as Tang Jie escaped from the Tianshen Palace again and again and created one escape miracle after another, Xu Miaoran actually set many similar records. The reason why it was not as sensational as Tang Jie was mainly because of this hunt for the undead.
The difficult escape allowed Xu Miaoran to step out of the ivory tower completely and see the "real, cruel, yet wonderful world" in Tang Jie's words, which made her fully understand her own shortcomings and the gap between herself and Tang Jie.
However, the setback 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 everything without working too hard, so she is inevitably a little lazy. And when she really goes all out, the energy that has been dormant for a long time bursts out with amazing energy.
In just a few months, Xu Miaoran's realm has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has achieved enlightenment. If it weren't for the fear that her strength would decline and become a burden to Tang Jie, she would be in the third state of decline now.
Because of this, Xu Miaoran still remained sober and cautious even when entering the psychic mountainous area.
Although she was looking forward to seeing Tang Jie soon, she knew that she had to wait, endure, and find a better time.
So these days, she suppressed all her expectations and just wandered in the mountains like a real village girl.
Like Tang Jie, she chose to familiarize herself with the terrain and the situation first, instead of stupidly rushing in without knowing anything.
In this process, she gradually mastered many layouts that even Xi Canhen didn't understand. For example, the Tianshen Palace was responsible for the blockade of the internal core area. Outside the Tianshen Palace, it was the blockade of various small sects in Moqiu. In addition, The blockade formation built around the mountainous area, the entire pursuit and blockade is actually a three-layer ring layout, one layer inside another.
If they want to enter the interior of the mountain to find Tang Jie, they must first pass through the external blockade formation, which they have already accomplished. The formation is easy to enter and difficult to get out of, then they must pass through the blockade of various small sects, and finally they must pass the blockade of Tianshen Palace. .
Only when that step was reached, Xu Miaoran would notify Tang Jie that he was coming.
Because of this, Xu Miaoran has been waiting.
Just like she had broken through the Tianyahai Pavilion blockade before, she slowly waited for the opportunity.
She doesn't know what the opportunity is, but she knows that life is always full of changes. As long as you wait patiently, no one knows when the opportunity will suddenly come.
Luck always favors those who are prepared. This is the valuable experience Xu Miaoran gained during his half-year pursuit career. Maybe she still couldn't create opportunities like Tang Jie, but at least she knew how to welcome them.
Then the opportunity came.
A battle between Tang Jie and Tianshen Palace triggered a drama in the Changling Mountain area, which became Xu Miaoran's best opportunity.
In that great upheaval, everyone was panicked. The terrain changed, the mountains undulated, and everything that was once familiar was shattered and replaced by a new and unfamiliar existence.
Just when everyone was panicking, Xu Miaoran began to infiltrate the mountainous area.
With the help of that drastic change in heaven and earth, she successfully passed the outer blockade and reached the blockade of Tianshen Palace.
Unfortunately, the mountain change ended here, and Xu Miaoran had to stop her advance again and continue to move like a village girl in the mountainous area, carefully avoiding all potential dangers.
This was also the most dangerous period for Xu Miaoran. They were caught between the cracks, unable to advance or retreat.
Tianshen Palace was searching everywhere, and other sects were also casting their nets everywhere. No one knew when the net would be caught, but Tang Jie was not caught, but Xu Miaoran was captured.
Xu Miaoran knew very well what would happen if she was caught. Even if they didn't dare to kill her, it didn't mean that they were so afraid of her that they didn't even have any means. For them, that would be a good card against Tang Jie.
Because of this, she was very, very careful. Not only that, she even made various preparations to commit suicide. This kind of preparation for suicide may not be carried out, but it will definitely make those who want to capture her use their weapons.
After completing all this, Xu Miaoran continued to endure and lurk in the mountain, quietly waiting for the next opportunity to come.
There are always some people who are truly favored by God.
Just when Xu Miaoran thought that he might have to wait for a long time, the opportunity really came again.
Today, Xu Miaoran was observing carefully in the forest area as usual, looking at the inspection route of Tianshen Palace, shift change times, etc., looking for possible loopholes.
The blockade of Tenjin Palace in the mountain adopts net defense.
That is, a monitoring point is set up at regular intervals in the mountainous area. With this point as the center, all movements within a certain range of the surrounding area are monitored to prevent escape. The biggest advantage of this approach is that it controls the various parts of the mountainous area to the greatest extent and avoids being sneaked in. However, the disadvantage is that it is too rigid, the distance between each other is large, and the support is insufficient. Once attacked, it is easy to become isolated. Unaided, it is extremely easy to be broken up by division.
But Nan Ningjiang is not afraid of this. He is not afraid that Tang Jie will come out, but he is afraid that Tang Jie will not come out. In order to deal with this situation, Nan Ningjiang has already laid out backup plans, among which the dog king He Changan is his most reliable trump card.
From Tang Jie's point of view, he needs his opponents to be divided so that he can kill; from Nan Ningjiang's point of view, he needs Tang Jie to be dispatched so that he can have a chance to capture; both of them know what the other needs, so they have no intention of killing him. Give each other a chance if you care.
But before that, Tang Jie's energy was mainly in the mountains, and he didn't plan to play this cat and mouse game with Nan Ningjiang yet, but both he and Nan Ningjiang believed that this day would come sooner or later.
Tang Jie will definitely take the bait, and Nan Ningjiang will also get opportunities again and again.
This is a long-term competition process, and the winner is the one who laughs at the end.
Xu Miaoran didn't know this, but her instinct told her to pay attention to these monitoring points and try to find opportunities from them.
Today, when she was observing carefully, suddenly there was an explosion in the sky.
Following this explosion, a figure was seen falling straight down from the sky.
This scene shocked everyone.
You must know that this is a psychic mountainous area, and the sky is a forbidden area.
It's okay to fly at low altitude. As long as it's not too high, it's usually fine. Once you fly a little higher, you may be hit by the mountain at any time. The last person strutting 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 is basically laid out on the ground. 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. If he looked carefully, he was an old man wearing a monk's robe and a gray beard.
The old Taoist didn't seem to be affected by the mountain at all. When he landed, he happened to be at a monitoring point, facing ten disciples of the Bloody Blood Hall. The disciples of the Bloody Blood Hall were all shocked by this old Taoist. They didn’t know where this old Taoist came from. Instead, the old Taoist glanced at the ten people, made a sound of surprise, and asked: "There are so many melons!"
The sentence "There are so many people" made everyone confused. They didn't know what was going on. Then they saw the old man pointing at them one by one: "One, two, three, four... nine, ten... ten What a fool!"
Then he held his belly and laughed, looking like a fool.
After hearing what he said, a disciple of the Bloody Hall couldn't help but shouted: "Old Taoist Wu Na, what are you talking about? Who are you and how did you get here?"
"What nonsense are you talking to him about?" Another disciple of Bloody Blood Hall had already shouted: "This place has been sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Since we are here, we must capture it first."
"Be careful, it's Tang Jie's turn!" Someone shouted again.
The next moment, the ten disciples of Bloody Blood Hall formed a formation, showed ten golden short spears, and simultaneously stabbed the old Taoist with a spear.
Just like the bean soldiers, they have the ability to fight together. They are a group of ten, and their spiritual powers are connected. Although they are only in the realm of transcendence, the power of the spear they jointly thrust is not inferior to the full blow of the spirit ring master. .
Seeing the spear shadow shining with huge brilliance, it pierced the old Taoist.
The crazy old Taoist looked at the spear shadow, not surprised but happy, and said with a smile: "It's fun, it's fun!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the spear shadow.
The spear shadow was made of condensed spiritual energy and had no substance, but at this moment, when he grabbed it, the spear shadow was actually caught in his hand, twisting like a snake crazily, but it couldn't get out of his hand.
This scene shocked everyone.
Just by grabbing it at will, you can catch the spell attacks issued by others as if they were real objects. How strong is it to do this?
At least He Yueyang, Li Song and others would never be able to do it.
Xuan Zhongzi may be able to do it, but he may not be able to do this with a spirit ring-level attack. Look at the crazy old Taoist, who is holding the spear shadow in his hand at this moment. There is no sign of difficulty at all. On the contrary, he is laughing while looking at it. It looked like it was seeing some interesting toy.
The ten disciples of the Bloody Hall tried to draw the spear but were unable to do so. They felt that all the spiritual energy in their bodies was continuously leaking out. Without losing the shadow of the spear, they were forced to use their own spiritual energy to maintain it. What was terrible was that at this moment, even if they wanted to No need to interrupt.
Terrified in his heart, the leading disciple of the Bloody Hall shouted: "Withdraw the spear!"
The ten people let go at the same time, and there was a bang, the spears flew away, and the huge recoil pushed the ten people into the air.
When the old Taoist saw the ten people flying up, he let out a hissing cry: "Alas, flying people!"
As he spoke, he pointed his hands, and ten spiritual threads flew out from his fingers and were wrapped around the ten people. Then they saw these ten people flying around in the air and refused to come down.
The ten people were being fooled in the air and screamed, but they were allowed to attack in any way, and the veteran didn't care at all. There was no defensive shield on him, but any attack hitting him was like a gold stone, making only a fluttering sound, but not even scratching the skin of the veteran.
The leading disciple knew something was wrong, and while "flying" in the air, he tried his best to take out the talisman. With a flash of light, the warning signal was sent out.
The warning signal is out, and support from Tianjin Palace will arrive soon.
The old Taoist didn't care at all. He continued to wave his hands. The spiritual thread in his hand became thicker and thicker, and gradually formed a solid shape. It tied the person tightly like a rope, and then swung it behind him, like ten feather tails. Hanging like a bird behind him, the old Taoist even pinched his beak like a bird and shouted happily: "Peacock, I am a peacock!"
Emotionally, he regarded these ten people with their spiritual ropes as the feathers on the back of a peacock.
Facing this scene, Xu Miaoran was also stunned.
The support from Tianjin Palace was prompt.
While the old man was playing tricks, the sound of flying was heard in the distance.
Reinforcements from nearby monitoring points arrived first to support.
Xu Miaoran thought that the old Taoist was going to show off his might and continue to capture these people. Unexpectedly, when the old Taoist saw dozens of people coming to kill them aggressively, he shrunk his neck and shouted: "I won't play with you anymore!"
He turned around and ran away.
He ran back, but he was still dragging ten disciples of the Bloody Hall behind him. At this moment, as he was flying all the way, the ten tied disciples of the Bloody Hall were rising and falling with his figure. They really looked like some kind of The animal's tail sways rhythmically.
How could those Tianshen Palace people let him go? Seeing this scene, even if the other party was not Tang Jie, they would not let him go. They roared angrily and chased after him.
So I heard constant rumblings and explosions all the way. It was obvious that the pursuers from all directions in the Tianshen Palace were swarming in to surround this hateful crazy old man. The smoke filled the air and went straight away. On the contrary, Xu Miaoran's area was deserted for an instant. There is no one left.
Xu Miaoran was stunned at first, and then realized, isn't this the best time for him to break through the blockade?
She regained her energy and hurriedly returned to the hiding spot, calling out Xiantao and Hongyuan: "Let's go quickly."
"Where are you going?" Hongyuan, who has always been naughty and a bit silly, has not yet reacted.
"Go see Tang Jie!" Xu Miaoran replied loudly, and he rushed out like an arrow, heading straight towards the depths of the forest.
She rushed through the blockade, rushed into the mountain, and rushed from the rear to the front.
Never look back!
The moment she entered the mountains, she finally took off the Thousand Mile Talisman and wrote the words: "I am in the mountains."
Thousands of words are contained in these four words.
