But in the rivers and lakes

The Tianshan Mountains are rugged and difficult to walk, and there are still ways to walk in the lower places. The higher you go, the more cliffs and cliffs, and it is difficult for even horses to pass. Shen Yun and Su Lianmo had to dismount and walk on foot.Although it is approaching midsummer, the wind is still blowing on the Tianshan Mountains, like severe winter. Su Lianmo is wrapped in a thick fox fur, which he bought from the herdsmen at a large price before he left, but it is still hard to see. Resist the invasion of cold wind.

After finally finding a cave that could keep out the wind, Shen Yun raised a fire, and listening to the howling wind outside the cave, said: "It seems that there will be a heavy snowfall."

Su Lianmo spread out the map and carefully studied the route on it: "According to the marking on the map, we should have found the right place."

Along the way, Shen Yun has never looked at the treasure map. He has no interest in the treasure. The only thing he wants to do is to fulfill his promise to Su Lianmo: "Looking at the weather, I may not be able to leave tonight. Let's spend the night in this cave."

Su Lianmo stuffed the map back into his arms, and stretched out his hand to bake on the fire: "I didn't expect Tianshan to be so cold. Even if there is a goddess, I'm afraid she would have frozen to death."

Shen Yun said: "Goddesses naturally don't exist, but treasures may not exist either."

Su Lianmo was not annoyed at all, and nodded in agreement: "You are right, before the truth is revealed, anything can happen."

Shen Yun's heart jumped suddenly: "Is what you are looking for really a treasure?"

Su Lianmo shook the Scarlet Firmament Sword in his hand: "This sword belongs to my Su family, and now I'm just taking back what belongs to me, why not?"

For the old incident that happened 25 years ago, Shen Yun knew too little, but he could guess that the truth was even more tragic than what Su Lianmo said that day. The Chixiao Sword was just a fuse. Feiyu Mountain Villa, as well as other schools of martial arts, the grievances and resentments among the three are the real source.Shen Yun added some dry wood to the fire, stood up and said, "I'll go ahead to explore the way."

The temperature outside the cave is colder than before, and the vegetation is sparse, it is difficult to resist the cold wind, and it hurts like a knife when it blows on the face. Shen Yun climbed a cliff, and there are many peaks in the distance. It was all snow-white, and the fog was rising, making it impossible to see the situation below the mountain clearly.Based on the time, Mu Yunze and his party should have reached the foot of the mountain. I wonder if he is alright?

Longing filled his heart, Shen Yun lowered his eyebrows and sighed.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and a few drops of coldness fell on his face. He raised his head and saw fine snowflakes floating in the sky, flying like catkins.When he returned to the cave, Su Lianmo had already wrapped himself in fox fur and fell asleep. His face was a little pale under the firelight, and he was still holding the wooden stick used to start the fire.Shen Yun walked over to take the stick away, Su Lianmo opened his eyes, and smiled at him in a trance, not knowing whether it was conscious or unconscious, he held Shen Yun's hand and leaned into his arm.

Shen Yun's body froze, and he wanted to help him away, but found that his hands were very cold, and even his face was icy. He paused for a moment, and finally just pulled the fox fur on his body, and sat down beside him.

The fire burned all night, and Shen Yun also had a sleepless night. The morning sun filled the entrance of the cave. Last night, the snow was not heavy, and a little accumulated on the vegetation, but the melted snow seeped into the ground, making the mountain road more beautiful. Difficult to move through the mud.When Shen Yun came back from exploring the way outside, Su Lianmo was sitting on the ground in a daze, when he saw him, he jumped up and asked, "What did I do last night?"

Shen Yun replied calmly: "Sleep."

Su Lianmo asked suspiciously: "Did you sleep deeply?"

Shen Yun replied: "It's really heavy."

Su Lianmo seemed to be puzzled: "It shouldn't be! Why can't I wake up all the time recently? Did you drug me?"

Shen Yun looked at him and said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet."

Su Lianmo touched her shoulder, although it was still aching, but she didn't fall asleep completely and lost her vigilance, this has never happened before!He stared at Shen Yun, and asked like a thief: "You really didn't drug me?"

Shen Yun is not interested in arguing with him about these nonsense: "The weather should still change, let's set off."

The cold wind was blowing outside the cave, almost freezing people into icicles, Su Lianmo wrapped the fox fur tightly, as if remembering something, but also seemed to be unable to remember anything: "How do I feel about last night..."

Shen Yun interrupted him: "Which direction are you going?"

A fork in the road appeared in front of them. Su Lianmo took out the map and studied it for a while, pointed to the small road on the left and said, "It should be this way." The road was said to be almost covered by vegetation, and only a few traces were left to distinguish it. When they came out, there were many strange rocks all around, and the more they walked inside, the more gloomy they became. They walked closer to a cup of tea time, and found that they were still in this forest of strange rocks.

Su Lianmo looked at the map: "It seems that this is the stone formation forest marked on the map."

Shen Yun glanced at it and vaguely saw a red dot on the map. Su Lianmo continued: "This stone forest is arranged according to the five-element formation, which is like a maze. Once you enter, you will easily lose your way and go around in circles. Turning around, I can’t find a way out. It’s just used to bluff laymen, and it’s not a very clever formation in my opinion, so follow closely, I’ll take you out.”

Su Lianmo confidently walked ahead to lead the way, and Shen Yun finally knew why his internal strength was not high. I am afraid that his Qimen Dunjia, medical divination and astrology skills are unmatched by anyone in the world!This stone forest looks very big, and he didn't go out when he walked around for a cup of tea just now, but now he saw the exit after only a few steps, Su Lianmo still didn't forget to turn his head and raise his eyebrows at Shen Yun triumphantly.

He was about to walk out of this place, but Shen Yun stopped and his expression changed, because he heard a vague conversation coming from somewhere in the stone forest.Su Lianmo asked, "Brother Shen, who do you think is the person following us?"

Shen Yun's heart tightened for a while, and Su Lianmo said again: "Is it the person from the ghost gate, or the Master Mu Shaozhuang who makes you miss him so much?"

Apart from them, there is indeed no third possibility, Shen Yun turned around and walked towards the stone forest without saying a word.Su Lianmo stood in front of him and said, "Shen Yun, don't forget what you promised me."

Shen Yun said: "After they walk out of the stone forest, I will look for you."

Su Lianmo looked at him sarcastically: "It's really rare that you treat that Master Mu with deep affection! But if the person behind you is a ghost, wouldn't you just cause trouble for nothing? ?”

Shen Yun looked resolute: "Even so, I still want to go and have a look."

Su Lianmo said: "Don't forget, that Master Mu Shaozhuang is the one who wants to kill you the most."

Shen Yun was unmoved: "So what, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Su Lianmo cried out as if she had been greatly insulted: "Since you promised to protect me to find the treasure, if you leave before then, you will break your promise! Shen Yun, you can only listen to me until you find the treasure. Yes, you can't go anywhere without my permission!"

Shen Yun looked at him: "Do you regard me as your servant?"

Su Lianmo sneered twice and said: "This is what you promised me, even if you don't want to, you can only continue to do it."

Shen Yun clenched the sword in his hand, deep pain appeared in his eyes, he was silent for a long time before he uttered a word: "Okay." He gathered some firewood and piled it at the exit, lit it with flint, and the firewood was pressed by the snow all night , a little damp, although there is no fire rising, but thick smoke is billowing.Shen Yun stood for a while, until the thick smoke rose into the sky, then he turned and left.

In the stone forest, Mu Yunze and others who couldn't find the exit all looked anxious. None of them knew the five elements and eight trigrams. Even if they knew it was a formation, they could do nothing.Feng Zhaogu noticed the thick smoke in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Look! There is smoke!"

If there is smoke, it means there may be someone. Chen Hengzhi said pleasantly: "There must be the exit, let's go there!"

Master Cizheng's attitude is not optimistic: "This place is so desolate, how can there be people? Maybe it is a trap set by Shen Yun to lure us into the bait."

Feng Zhaogu said: "Shen Yun and those two should be in front of us, what the master said is not unreasonable."

After going around so many circles inside, Zhang Tu already seemed very impatient: "What about the trap, if it is really them, we can save trouble, just capture them directly, why do you think so much?"

Chen Hengzhi echoed: "Daxia Zhang is right. We have so many people, so is it possible that we are still afraid of him?"

Feng Zhaogu had no choice but to say: "Since that's the case, let's go over and have a look. Everyone, remember to be careful and don't follow their ways."

Master Cizheng clasped his hands together and said, "There is something that I have been unable to figure out, we followed them all the way, perhaps they had spotted us a long time ago, but for some reason, we failed to bump into each other, it's really weird. "

Mu Yunxuan was startled, and looked at Chen Hengzhi, but he heard Chen Hengzhi's expression normal and said: "If it is so easy to find them, why can't other people in the world bother to find them? During this journey, has the master seen other sects? Disciple? If it weren't for my Chen family's eyeliners all over the world and being well-informed, our group might not be able to find Tianshan!"

Master Cizheng nodded and said: "I really relied on Mr. Chen's help in this matter. I am very grateful."

Chen Hengzhi waved his hands and said, "Master, you are welcome. The Chen family cannot absolve itself of the responsibility for Master Ciyuan's death. We will definitely do our best to capture Shen Yun."

These words sounded flawless, without loopholes, but Mu Yunze felt that it was getting weirder and weirder. Just like what Chen Hengzhi said, why did the news of someone who could not be found by other sects in the world fall into the hands of his Chen family? ?Feng Zhaogu looked at Mu Yunze, shook his head at him, and signaled him to calm down, no matter whether Chen Hengzhi is weird or not, now is not the time to pursue it.

The entrance was in front of him, Zhang Tu took a few steps and rushed over, there was nothing here except this pile of burning firewood, he looked around, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out: "Who made a fire here?"

Chen Hengzhi raised his hand to signal, and several guards scattered around, and came back after a while to report to him: "My lord, there is no one around here."

Feng Zhaogu was also puzzled: "Could it be that someone deliberately lit a fire here to show us the way?"

Zhang Tudao: "Apart from us, there are other people in this mountain? It's unlikely that the thief Shen Yun has such kindness!"

Looking at the fire, Mu Yunze's heart beat a little faster, who would do this except Shen Yun...

Chen Hengzhi greeted: "It doesn't matter who started the fire, as long as we come out smoothly! Those two people are probably ahead, so don't delay here, hurry up and follow!"
