It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

The troops were divided into three groups and went up the mountain.

The speed of Yang Xianrong was not slow. Before reaching the halfway point of the mountain, Sima Zhong was placed on a gentle slope to bask in the sun, while she and the others quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records: The first of the two northern classics is to the east of the river, with its head resting on Fen, and its name is Guanlui Mountain. There are no trees on it but a lot of grass, and a lot of jade below it. The Fen River flows out and flows westward into the river.

Although it is early spring, the forest here is deep and leafy, and there are crisscrossing ravines. You can only judge the direction by the sun above your head.

Sheep Xianrong was climbing on a sunny slope, so he had to use both hands and feet to avoid falling.

Fortunately, it was not too difficult, and the group of them also went from gentle to steep and then into a gentle slope.

After a short rest, Yang Xianrong and Cuixiluzhu discussed it again, and they dispersed to search. Regardless of whether they found it or not, they must return here before dark.

Yuan Jianshuo followed Yang Xianrong and asked: "Although there is a topographic map, it is better to find a guide. I heard that hunters and hermits live in the clover forest. It is also good to ask them to lead the way."

"Well, they need it." Yang Xianrong nodded, "We can also share part of our food with them. After all, it's quite a long way down the mountain."

"Yes." Lu Zhu quickly divided the dry food brought with Zhang Liang into several small portions in case of emergencies. They all followed Yang Xianrong closely and still refused to separate. Yang Xianrong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't be like this, you all know Zhenren Xu's face, but those military guards may not know him. So, you have to take them to look for him together."

After finally dispersing all these people, Yang Xianrong breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, there are more people and more power, so we always have to look for it.

Yuan Jianshuo followed Yang Xianrong with the main force of the military guards. They had already arrived at Sanye Forest and saw a hunter's cabin. Yuan Jianshuo was still more cautious. He slowly approached and took a look before saying, "There is no one here."

At this time, Yang Xianrong actually felt very tired. She went into the hunter's cabin and sat down. She looked at the fire that was not extinguished and said, "I'm afraid I went hunting and didn't go far."

It's quite a large, semi-open house with no doors, just a simple wooden fence.

"Let's take a rest. We can also boil some hot water here to drink." Cuixi touched Yang Xianrong's hand, "It's still cold in the mountains, so don't catch the cold."

"Well, maybe if you still have the strength, you can go look for it later and don't worry about me. I'll just sit here and not walk around." Yang Xianrong rubbed his legs. It seemed that he hadn't climbed up in a long time, and his strength was really good. No.

"No, I can't leave you here." Yuan Jianshuo disagreed.

"Then you go pick up some firewood. It's still quite cold." Yang Xianrong directed him to work, "You borrowed someone else's place, so you still have to do something for them."

Before she finished speaking, Cuixi said happily: "There is actually half a pheasant hidden here. Let me tell you, I always smell the fragrance."

Everyone looked at her, and she dug out the roasted pheasant that had not yet cooled down and a little salt from the broken wooden cabinet.

Even these people had just gone up the mountain after eating, but when they saw that there was meat to eat, they felt very good. Yang Xianrong was not polite at all, and directly stretched out his hand, "Give me a taste."

"Wait a minute, slave, taste it first." As usual, Cuixi tore off a piece and put it in her mouth, chewed it, and then said, "The taste is okay, it's a little raw, but it can still be grilled."

"Here, here." Yuan Jianshuo moved very quickly, and even lit the fire that was about to go out, using his long sword.

"How about catching another one?" Yang Xianrong asked, "When I went up the mountain just now, I heard that there should be a lot of birds and animals here."

"How can it be so easy..." Yuan Jianshuo spoke much more casually now, and said with a grimace, "I have never hunted in my humble job." "Okay, then go and pick up more branches quickly, so that the fire can be stronger. "Yang Xianrong used his long sword to pull some fires, and a lot of dust rose up, choking several people and making them cough.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Yuan Jianshuo covered his mouth and nose, immediately withdrew, and took two military guards away to look for dead branches.

It was much quieter around Yang Xianrong, and now only Cui Xi and eight military guards were following him.

The eight people were just standing around to protect and guard, but they did not help Cuixi roast the pheasant.

However, no one spoke.

There are unknown birds chirping in the mountains and forests, there are sounds of small animals crawling in the grass, and there are some sounds of wolves howling in the distance. Someone seems to be playing some musical instrument faintly, and the sounds are somewhat melodious. meaning.

Could it be Master Xu?

Yang Xianrong immediately stood up and walked out of the hunter's cabin.

Cuixi also quickly handed over the roasted pheasant to a military guard, and followed Yang Xianrong to stand in the forest and listen.

The music was not obvious, intermittent, and seemed out of tune. But it seemed to be a very familiar tune, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

"People often say that Guanlui Mountain, with its dangerous mountains, strange peaks, forests, lakes and rare birds and animals, is the best place for a hermit to live. I'm afraid this is also a hermit." Yang Xianrong judged the direction of the music, but because of Lin There was wind, but she couldn't tell.

"It sounds like it's going up further," Cuixi said.

"...Then let's take a rest." Yang Xianrong's face fell, "I'm so tired."

"How about the lady rest here for a while, and the slave can quickly go up and have a look?" Cui Xike was not tired at all.

"Then you should roast the pheasant at least." Yang Xianrong was a bit shameless, because she didn't want to get close to the fire, otherwise it wouldn't be a cough, but a dark look on her face.

"Girl..." Cui Xi couldn't laugh or cry, "Then this music is fleeting. Please take a quick look and come down immediately. Take Commander Yuan's sword and put it into the fire. Don't lower it too low. Okay…it’ll be ready in no time.”

"Oh." Yang Xianrong also laughed. She knew that it was useless to deal with Cui Xi. Cui Xi was an extremely serious person and could only reason. "How many people are you bringing?"

"That's no need, I can move faster alone." Cuixi put the long sword in Yang Xianrong's hand, turned around and quickly went up the mountain.

However, not long after, I suddenly heard the howling of wolves in the mountains, followed by the sound of a woman screaming.

Yang Xianrong's expression immediately changed, and he rushed out of the hunter's cabin holding a long sword.

The few military guards who stayed behind also assumed a defensive formation and looked nervously at the situation around them.

Among the howls of wolves, there was also the roar of tigers, which resounded through the mountains and forests.

Immediately, there was another roaring and sharp whistle, and the momentum faintly overwhelmed the tiger's roar.
