One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

Chapter 229 Entering Cangshan Mountain

Zhang Yue looked down at her feet and realized that 2 people had been buried below. After a few days, they were probably rotting corpses.

Thinking of this, her face turned pale, and she was obviously uncomfortable, so her feet were suspended in the air, and she rose slightly from the ground.

Song Yun glanced at it, but didn't say anything.

The Great Xia Dynasty had been in peace for a long time, and there were no large-scale wars at all, only occasional local battles and riots.

Although the powerhouses of this era grow fast, they lack the tempering of blood and fire.

Compared with a strong man like Song Yun who came out of a hundred years of troubled times, his willpower is still a bit weaker.

Usually there is no difference, but when it comes to a desperate juncture, no one in the same realm is Song Yun's opponent.

The two circled around the location of Cangshan Town, but found no trace.

Song Yun: "Those Zhu Xiewei really came here?"

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "Zhu Xiewei's reporting tasks are very rigorous, especially if there are many people working together, if they say they have arrived here, there can be no falsehood."

After finishing speaking, he lifted up his sleeves, showed off his cyan armguard, and tapped it a few times with his fingers.

Immediately, some white light spots appeared on the back of the armguard, flickering from time to time.

Song Yun looked at it with great interest. This kind of arm guard is actually a magic weapon to assist in the performance of Taoism. It is exquisitely designed and made with extremely high craftsmanship.

It looks like an ordinary arm guard, and it is estimated to have a defensive function. In fact, it has powerful long-distance communication and detection capabilities.

Zhang Yue turned around in different directions, and then looked at the change of the white light spot on the armguard, her face became weird.

"There is interference nearby, so the detection is not clear, but there seems to be traces of Xiexiewei in the depths of Cangshan Mountain."

"They entered the mountain?" Song Yun raised his head and looked into the distance.

Cangshan Mountain is a mountain range that spans hundreds of miles. There are more than a dozen peaks and valleys with undulating heights. The terrain is very steep at first glance.

Zhang Yue took out the information given by Chubby Zhu Xiewei, and introduced:
"Cangshan has many rare medicinal materials, birds and animals. The people of Cangshan Town make a living by hunting and collecting herbs in the mountains, and then trade with merchants in exchange for daily necessities."

"However, the townspeople often go only to the outskirts of Cangshan Mountain, and few people set foot in the depths."

"1 years ago, the imperial court conducted a comprehensive survey on Cangshan Mountain. No treasure was found, but there was no danger either."

Song Yun raised his eyebrows, "In this way, there must be many veteran hunters and medicine farmers in the town. They know Cangshan very well and have rich experience. Maybe they discovered the problem in advance and took the people to flee?"

"The terrain outside the mountain is low-lying. They want to avoid danger, so they can only run up to a few peaks that have not experienced landslides."

Zhang Yue nodded, "It's indeed possible, maybe people like Qiao Shan found out that the townspeople had entered the mountain, and followed them to find them, so they broke contact."

Song Yun lowered his head and looked at the ground, "We can check the situation deep in the mud to see how many townspeople are there. If there are fewer people, they probably escaped."

After hearing this, Zhang Yue shook her head repeatedly, "Looking for corpses in the mud, and there are more than 2 corpses, and I have to count them. I don't have the ability, and it takes a lot of time to search slowly."

"Me too." Song Yun shrugged.

He had beheaded many strong ghosts and immortals in Anxi City, and now the power of the soul is extremely deep, but after all, he only survived the thunder disaster once, and he couldn't even condense the avatar of the divine sense, so it was difficult to improve the level of Taoism.

Zhang Yue couldn't help giving him a blank look, "Then what are you talking about, embarrassing my old man."

Song Yun smiled wryly and shook his head. In short, it is impossible to explore the ground.

He looked at the winding and winding peaks of Cangshan Mountain, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, "It seems that only by entering the mountains can we find out the truth."

Zhang Yue took out a talisman paper from her bosom, "I'll tell that dog official Qi Xuanyu, in case he doesn't see anyone and goes straight home."

As he spoke, he wrote a line of words on the talisman paper, cast a spell, and the talisman paper turned into a stream of light, flying towards Lizhou.

"Qi Xuanyu is the governor of Monan Road after all, and you are a dog official when you open your mouth. If you offend him badly, aren't you afraid that the evil guards of Monan Road will be unlucky?" Song Yun laughed.

Zhang Yue said indifferently: "Our Xiexie Guard is directly under His Majesty the Emperor. We have always acted independently and can intervene in various affairs. If we offend too many local officials, we basically have no good relationship."

"It's nothing, the more you offend, the more at ease the court will be."

"Let's go, without further ado, let's go into the mountain now."

Cangshan Mountain has a large area, but fortunately Zhang Yue's cyan armguard can indicate the general direction, so that the two of them will not scurry around.

Following the general direction of the white light spot on the armguard, the two decided to go northwest.

Flying close to the ground, maintaining concealment, we soon reached the foot of the mountain.

When Zhang Yue waved her hand, the ground seemed to be on fire, and then a huge red arrow appeared, pointing to their entrance to the mountain.

This is the mark left for the rescue troops behind.

"Let's go." Zhang Yue left a mark and rushed into the deep mountain in a hurry.

Song Yun stepped on the soft mud under his feet, looked at the red arrow on the mud, and frowned slightly.

With a swipe of the fingernail, the thumb was split open, a drop of blood of the Martial Sage as thick as mercury was squeezed out, and the fingers flicked to the top of the head.

The blood drop flew straight into the air with a whoosh, and quickly disappeared.

Only then did Song Yun take a step and followed Zhang Yue up the mountain.

Although they were advancing in concealment, their speed was not slow, and they quickly disappeared into the deep mountains and old forests.

After a while, at the entrance of the two people into the mountain, the mud all over the ground rolled quietly, as if it had been boiled.

During the tumbling, the red arrow left by Zhang Yue was swallowed by the mud, and Song Yun's footprints completely disappeared.

There is no trace of anyone coming here.

……

In the deep mountains, there are still many dense forests that have not been affected by the heavy rain, with lush branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun.

If they were flying above the forest, they would not be able to see the situation on the ground clearly. The two of them could only walk through the forest, looking for traces and breath left by people.

But after walking for dozens of miles, they had already reached the halfway up the mountain, and found nothing except that the surrounding environment was getting colder and colder.

On the contrary, there are shadows in the depths of the woods, swaying gently with the wind, it looks like a human figure.

Zhang Yue kept fiddling with her armguards, trying to call her colleagues several times.

But after entering the mountain, the communication function of the armguard was affected, and even the white light spot was almost invisible.

"Damn it, is there a formation in this mountain?" Zhang Yue knocked hard on the armguard, but there was still no response.

After tossing and tossing for a long time to no avail, she was a little anxious, so she asked Song Yun: "What should I do now? Continue walking in the direction I set before? Or try to send a message?"

When the question was asked, no one responded.

Zhang Yue was startled suddenly, she turned her head and looked around, but Song Yun was no longer in sight.

"This guy, won't he leave by himself again?" She couldn't help but gasp.

This was the case when she was in the Monan Governor's Mansion just now, she was busy arguing with Qi Xuanyu, but Song Yun quietly took a step ahead to investigate the situation at the foot of Cangshan Mountain.

"Zhu Xiewei requires teamwork, this discipline is too bad!"

Zhang Yue was a little annoyed, and shouted loudly:
"Song Lan!"

There was an echo immediately in the deep mountains.

"Song Lan—"

"Song Lan—"

……

Countless voices echoed and intertwined, Zhang Yue listened carefully, but she didn't hear the reply from "Song Lan".

Her face gradually changed.

Although Cangshan Mountain is big, it is not to the extent that the peak of Wusheng can't hear the shouting.

"Song Lan" did not respond, and could only explain one problem——

In an accident, they got separated!
