Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

At this time, Chou Chou suddenly said: "There is a mechanism under that platform. It is a tunnel. I just took a look and it should lead to the underground. I don't know what the secrets of Shending Mountain are."

It turned out that when it probed the area with its spiritual consciousness, due to habit, it also took a look below. Unexpectedly, it found something different.

In fact, they heard the legend of Shending Mountain yesterday and used their spiritual consciousness to explore it. However, they did not explore it comprehensively. They only glanced at the top of the mountain.

Qingyan and Jin Yang also explored the area with their spiritual senses, and found that there was indeed an underground passage there. The platform was also made of stone, and only temporary wooden boards were laid on it to block the mechanism below.

They all probed in with their spiritual consciousness, but they were intercepted by something before they probed too deeply, and they could no longer go any further.

Qingyan said: "There should be a formation barrier. I couldn't complain and put it under the table. It seems that even if someone sees it, they can't get in."

Chou Chou and others also nodded. That "expert" seemed to be really capable. Not only could he communicate with the world, but he could also form formations. As expected, no one should be underestimated. Maybe he would meet a folk master somewhere.

Qingyan and the others planned to wait for the ceremony to end and meet with each other for a while. Since the other party was not a bad person, they should be able to communicate with each other and maybe learn some unknown secrets.

It would be better if there were any suitable training techniques for Qingyan. She had only successfully introduced Qi into her body through the contract space ring. If there were suitable techniques, she might be able to go further.

After making the decision, they started to pay attention to the situation at the county government again. The two officials with the female kidnapper would be back in the county in about an hour.

They took advantage of this time to go back to space and eat something, even if they had dinner in advance, because they had not eaten breakfast since they had woken up today, and they were anxious to see what was going on outside, so they ate lunch in a hurry, and now they were hungry again.

There was something ready-made for lunch, and I only made hot soup, and the rest was ready to eat. It only took half an hour for a few people to finish it, and there was room again.

This time they brought out the ox cart and went directly to Shending Mountain. The county government can pay attention to it with their spiritual consciousness. It is the same here as at Shending Mountain.

Because it was indeed not far away, they arrived at the foot of Shending Mountain in less than twenty minutes. There was a road to the mountain and it was not steep, so they drove the ox cart directly along the mountain road towards the top of the mountain.

Shending Mountain is about 500 meters high. The mountain runs from north to south. From a bird's eye view, it looks like a prism, winding and undulating, with jagged peaks and ridges. The trees in the mountains are green and the scenery is very beautiful.

Along the way, I encountered several gurgling streams and many small animals. There was also a temple under construction halfway up the mountain. Perhaps because of the Chinese New Year, the craftsmen had gone back and have not returned. The work is now suspended and there are only a few people. Guard the materials inside.

It was already two hours later when they arrived at the top of the mountain. It was almost six o'clock now. People who had participated in the sacrifice at the top of the mountain were also coming down one after another. They met many people on the road.

Those people were kind-hearted and told them that they were late and the sacrifice was over. It was better to turn the car back on the spot. There was no accommodation on the top of the mountain and it would be dangerous if there were wild animals at night.

Qingyan thanked each other for the reminder one by one, saying that they had an appointment to meet on the mountain and would come down soon, and then they continued to move forward.

During this period, the two official servants also returned to the county government office with the two female kidnappers. After reporting the matter to the county magistrate, the county magistrate ordered five more government servants to drive the carriage to Nangang Town.

Ask them to bring back the kidnapped children and girls, along with the five thugs, and interrogate them carefully to avoid letting the bad guys go.

Some people should be left waiting there to see if any buyers or accomplices of the kidnappers pass by so that they can catch them all.

Qingyan and the others saw that the county magistrate was very considerate and prudent, so they withdrew their consciousness and met with the "experts" here first.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they found that there was no one at the place where they had sacrificed. Although they had not been staring with their spiritual consciousness before, they still "saw" that the "master" was still there when they were about to reach the top of the mountain.

The man was near the sacrificial platform at the time. It looked like he was packing something. It should be a magical weapon used in the formation.

Qingyan also observed carefully. They were all carved out of stones. Some were small stone statues, and some were small stone tablets, about the size of tokens, with complex patterns carved on them.

It should be in the opponent's inheritance. Anyway, Jin Yang and Chou Chou didn't find anything in common with the formation they practiced.

The effects seem to be similar, except that it can gather spiritual energy, so it should have the effect of a spiritual gathering array.

Unexpectedly, they divided their efforts for a while, and the man disappeared.

They also used their spiritual sense to explore and found that there was no place for anyone to live around.

The mountain road they came up was also the only way up the mountain, and they didn't meet each other on the way. Then either the other party either climbed directly down the mountain from the other side, or entered the tunnel below.

With the coverage of their spiritual consciousness, they can see at a glance whether there is a trail over there. Unless that person has the ability to shrink to an inch, otherwise, no matter how fast he goes, they can't not see it.

Even if the other person is disguised, they can still sense it. After all, the aura of that person is still different from that of ordinary people.

If there is none now, then there is only one possibility, which is that we have entered that tunnel.

Since that tunnel can shield their consciousness, it is normal that they can't see inside now.

Originally, they just wanted to communicate with each other and had no intention of exploring their tunnels.

Of course, if there is no barrier to block their consciousness, they will just go in and take a look. For places with owners, unless they get it by doing bad things, they generally will not enter at will or collect other people's things. .

But now that the person can't be found, there is some trouble. It would not be good for them to forcefully break into the tunnel, but they also want to meet each other.

So they went directly to the tunnel entrance. Chou Chou and Jin Yang tried to transmit messages inside to see if they could call each other out.

It's a pity that the barrier seems to be quite powerful, and it also isolates their sound transmission. It can't be transmitted at all. They knocked at the entrance of the tunnel for a long time, and they don't know whether the other party can't hear it or doesn't want to respond. Anyway, they don't get it. respond.

In the end, they had to stay temporarily on the top of the mountain to see if they could wait until the other party came out.

They did not return to the space directly, thinking that if the other party came out, they would be able to find them immediately. They could not suddenly appear out of thin air.

Or what should I do if the other person can sense the outside world and becomes more defensive when they see them suddenly disappearing and doesn't want to come out.

So Qingyan and the others set up two tents directly on the top of the mountain in a sheltered area. It wasn't that they didn't want to take out the wooden house, but that would expose the space. We still don't know who the other party is. Exposing too much would not be a good idea. not good.

Sleeping in a bullock cart is even more impossible. There are so many of them, which is a bit too unrealistic, so the best way is to set up a tent. Anyway, it was covered by an oxcart, so it was not difficult to take out the two tents from inside. However, the wind was strong on the top of the mountain, and even if we found a shelter from the wind, the temperature was still much lower than at the bottom.

They are not afraid of this. Anyway, they have fire stones. Just put one in the tent and it will be as warm as inside the space.

After that, the ox carts were placed across the area to form a triangle, and some dead branches were brought back from local materials.

Put the thicker and longer ones in the tent and set up a temporary bed. As long as it can isolate the moisture, it is better than sleeping directly on the ground. Then put a bedding on it and it will be a simple bed.

Smaller dead branches were used to make a fire directly in the triangle area, which was not only used to heat the cattle, but also for lighting.

If the other party comes out halfway, they can be better spotted.

Of course, their place is still quite far away from the mountains and forests, so they are not afraid of causing a fire. What's more, there are two tents blocking them on both sides. If the wind blows up sparks, their tents will be burned immediately. They were able to detect and extinguish it immediately.

They didn't let Yuanbao come out this time. After all, it looked like a child. They were in the wilderness on the top of the mountain. It was okay for four adults, but adding a child was a bit abnormal.

So let it stay in the space. Anyway, they can communicate through sound transmission, and they are not afraid of the guy being bored in there.

Because Chou Chou and Jin Yang had restrained their pressure and aura, small animals would come over to harass them from time to time after they calmed down.

They didn't want to talk to them at first, but a pheasant actually flew to their tent and pooped on them. How could anyone bear this?

Qingyan rushed out of the tent and caught the pheasant that was flying away.

She picked up the chicken wings and weighed them. They weighed four to five kilograms and were quite fat. Come on, I wasn't very hungry at first, but since they were delivered to my door, I thought it would be a late night snack.

She took some water from the carriage, boiled it, plucked the chicken's feathers, cleaned it and washed it with water, then put some seasoning on it and marinated it for a while, then lit it on the fire and roasted it.

The three Chou Chou were not sleeping at all, so they came out when they heard the sound. Huang Jin saw that there was only one pheasant and felt that it was not enough, so he went to the nearby forest and shot a few more pheasants back.

I brought it back after cleaning it up by the creek in the forest, and roasted it on the fire together.

Several people were chatting while waiting for the pheasant to be roasted. Of course, the chat was all insignificant, that is to say, just gossip.

After all, this is their territory, just in case someone can hear them, so they don't want to expose too much.

While chatting, they flipped the pheasant. After a while, the smell of chicken spread far away.

When Qingyan's one was roasted, she didn't eat it immediately. Instead, she waited for Chou Chou and the others to eat it together.

But before their pheasant was cooked, they heard a noise from the other side of the table.

The few of them looked at each other, and tacitly inserted the branch with the chicken on it next to the fire, letting it continue to roast, and all looked towards the table.

His spiritual consciousness looked at the little old man climbing up the tunnel, and twitched his lips in unison.

They didn't expect that the smell of chicken could lure the other person out. They thought they would have to wait until tomorrow day, or when the other person wanted to come out, before they could see each other.

The little old man in red cassock lifted the wooden board above his head and found four pairs of eyes staring at him brightly.

He was startled at the first moment and almost shrank back into the tunnel. Then he was stopped by the overbearing fragrance in the air and swallowed involuntarily.

No way, the smell of this roast chicken is too tempting.

The barbecue ingredients used by Qingyan and the others were prepared with a variety of seasonings and were very delicious. In addition, it was late at night and the wind was much lighter now. The flavor lingered for a long time, making people salivate.

So Qingyan and the others didn't feel strange about the little old man's reaction. This reaction was too normal.

Instead, the little old man touched his nose in embarrassment, cleared his throat and said, "Are you guys waiting here specifically? What do you want to see me for?"

He really didn't hear the sound they sent there before, and he didn't know they were waiting outside. It was just that he packed up the things he put down there and was about to leave. When he came out of the tunnel, he happened to smell the aroma of roast chicken.

The reason why they were sure that Qingyan and the others were here to find him was because there was really nothing interesting here to attract them to camp here at night.

He is the only one who can be guarded here. He is still somewhat confident in his reputation, and many people will come here to admire him.

Qingyan and the others did not beat around the bush and looked at Chou Chou together. Chou Chou stepped forward and said, "This fellow Taoist is so polite. We are indeed waiting for fellow Taoist here. We are also practitioners. I heard that there is a person on this Shending Mountain. Since he was an expert in Taoism, he came here because of his fame.

I have no other intention, I just want to have a discussion with fellow Taoists and share our experiences. "

The little old man looked at them with strange eyes, then raised his eyebrows, and finally his eyes rested on Qingyan.

"You should all have your own inheritance, and the way I practice is different. I guess there is nothing to discuss between us.

Although this girl has the lowest level of cultivation among you, I think she is full of good fortune and has several people to protect her. I think she is also blessed with great fortune, and opportunities will definitely come to her in the future. "

Hearing this, Qingyan and others were startled. It seemed that the other party had seen their true identities. He was really a capable expert.

If you can tell their true colors at a glance, they are definitely not ordinary experts. It seems that they have come to the right place.

Forget about gold, after all, they have just transformed, and they may be able to see the true forms of Chou Chou and Jin Yang at a glance. That means they are not lowly cultivated. They are both ancient ferocious beasts.

Fortunately, the other party did not realize that Qingyan was a visitor from another world, and only thought that she was with Chou Chou and the others because of luck and chance.
