across mountains and seas

Looking at Changgu last night with the faint moonlight, the distant view of the desert is just an illusion caused by snow and protruding rocks.The long valley is so long that you can't see the end at a glance, and the snow under your feet is almost knee-high. If you walk this distance, you may have to cheer up 120 points.

"I'll lead the way." Jing Lan said softly, "Follow in my footsteps." After speaking, she nodded to Liu Xi.

Observing the two in the dark, in her impression, this Jing Xiaowu never gave Liu Xi a good face at the beginning, but now he is like a tamed puppy, so gentle that it makes people feel a little bit envy.

Thinking of this, Youyou turned her head slightly, and whispered to Liu Xi: "Liu Xi, tell me, how did you tame this kid so obediently?"

"Say hello sister, and I'll tell you." Liu Xi was sure that Youyou would not call her.

Youyou suppressed her smile, "Don't even think about it."

"So, it's the same for you, don't even think about it." Liu Xi replied with the same words, this time she was not the last one, seeing Jing Lan took a few steps forward, she followed in Jing Lan's footsteps.

Youyou sneered, Liu Xi could hide what she wanted to understand, but Jing Xiaowu might not be able to hide it.

Jing Lan used Sky Climbing as a stick, first poked the hilt into the snow, and only took a step forward after confirming that there was no danger.Although the footsteps are slow, they can be considered safe.

At noon, Jing Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally could see the end of the long valley—the stacked boulders were buried in the snow, and some of the boulders' original blackness occasionally appeared in the gaps in the snow.

Jing Lan gritted her teeth, quickened her pace, rushed to the pile of boulders, swiped left and right with Chong Xiao twice, and after confirming that the stones could be chopped, she breathed a sigh of relief and retracted Chong Xiao's sword sheath.

Liu Xi approached Jing Lan, glanced at the rocks that Jing Lan had cut away, then looked left and right at the mountain walls on both sides, drew out a few shadows, scraped away some of the snow on the rock walls, and took a closer look.

"The stone materials are different." Jing Lan saw the difference.

Liu Xi nodded, "The stone blocking here must have been pulled later."

Jing Lan murmured thoughtfully, "Is it to prevent the corpse insects in the mountain stream from coming out to harm people, or to prevent something from the desert from entering Kyushu along the long valley?"

Liu Xi's vest was slightly cool, and he looked up at the height of the stone pile, and it was possible to turn over with light work.

"Whoosh!"

Unlike the two of them who hesitated, Youyou stepped on several protruding stone corners and quickly skimmed to the top of the stone pile, and said with a smile: "If you look at it further, people are starving to death, can't you turn it over?" As soon as she fell, she felt that something was wrapped around her ankle. Before Youyou could react, she was pulled by the two long ropes and fell backwards.

"faint!"

"trouble!"

Jing Lan and Liu Xi quickly scrambled up to the top of the stone pile, their swords were unsheathed almost at the same time, "Let her go!"

Youyou fell heavily into the snow, and soon there were several shiny silver spear points in front of her throat.Where did she dare to struggle again, she could only innocently wink at these gun-wielding boys, and whispered: "Take it easy, this girl is obedient."

"Two more!"

Among the teenagers in animal clothes, a delicate voice suddenly sounded.

The chubby girl with a round face squeezed out from among the teenagers, pointing a silver gun at Jing Lan and Liu Xi, "Daddy said, capture all those who come over there alive!"

"Alan, what should I do first to catch the thief?"

"understand!"

Liu Xi swept down the stone pile first, Shu Ying swirled in her palm, she switched to the back of her knife facing outwards, and charged into the group of teenagers.

"Set up the formation!" The fat little girl exclaimed loudly.

A teenager pulled Youyou up from the ground. Youyou was about to struggle, but the hemp rope on her ankle was still there. Another teenager pulled her away. Before she could fight back, she was quickly tied up by the two teenagers.

Youyou yelled something was wrong, judging by the age of these people, it is absolutely impossible for them to have much higher martial arts than hers, but the footwork and palm movements of this bunch of people are so exquisite that they seem to have been specially trained.

"Little brother, take it easy."

The boy fastened the rope tightly, strangling it so faintly that he couldn't help begging for mercy.

The two teenagers only gave her a blank look, and let her fall into the snow again, then raised their guns and formed an formation with other teenagers to surround Liuxi.

There are two people in the southeast and the north, each moving and stilling, and there are thousands of changes. Although the marksmanship is not perfect, the formation is so wonderful that after Liu Xi fought a few moves, he had to turn the blade and face the enemy seriously.

Jing Lan thought that the little girl was easy to deal with, but after performing two moves alone, she found that although the little girl was fat, her footwork was extremely light. She could catch her several times, and she could beat her avoid.

"Keng!"

The silver spear in the little girl's hand suddenly split into two, one half went up and the other half went down.

Chong Xiao in Jing Lan's hand vibrated and let out a resounding sword whistle.

Chong Xiao slashed open the barrel of the spear he was attacking with his sword, grabbed the little girl's spear with his left hand, turned his wrist over, and shook the tip of the silver spear violently along the spear with his inner breath.

Hearing a "click", he abruptly broke the tip of the little girl's spear with his inner strength.

"You pay me for the silver gun!" The little girl was enraged instantly, and her attack suddenly became fierce. She hurriedly took a step away from Jing Lan, and then swung the gun barrels in her hands in turn, and swung towards Jing Lan overwhelmingly.

Where is there any trick here?Like a rogue on the street.

"Girl, can you stop hitting me?"

Jing Lan parried several times, while talking, while looking for an opportunity to restrain her.

"not good!"

When the little girl heard this, she seemed to be even angrier. The barrel of the gun rotated like the wind and hit the sky, clanging.

"Then I'm sorry."

Jing Lan saw the opportunity, and slashed at the little girl's heart with a sword.

The little girl was ashamed and startled, "Deng Tuzi! You want to die!"

Unexpectedly, Jing Lan didn't really intend to pierce her skirt, but with a change of footwork, she slashed the little girl's head with a backhand knife.

The little girl shook her body and slumped down feebly, she actually passed out.

Jing Lan reached out and hugged the little girl's body, and said loudly: "Stop!" While speaking, Chong Xiao lay across the little girl's throat, "Otherwise, I will kill her!"

"Bell!" The teenagers exclaimed, and had to stop attacking Liu Xi.

Liu Xi realized that they wanted to use Youyou on the ground to threaten Jing Lan, so she took the first step, pulled Youyou on the ground and pushed her behind her back, raised her knife and shouted: "We have no intention of arguing with you, we can talk if we have something to say!"

"Release the bell!" The teenagers raised their guns and surrounded the three of them tightly, "You can't escape!"

Hearing this, Liu Xi glanced at the environment behind the young man from the corner of his eye.

There are more than a hundred barbed barriers placed in all directions, like a well-arranged army formation.

But from Jing Lan's point of view, those thorny barriers are arranged according to the situation of the mountain. I'm afraid there are organs inside. If such a formation can be set up, there must be some masters behind these young people.

The less trouble, the better.

Jing Lan didn't want to have too many entanglements with these people, otherwise, if he missed the opportunity to go to the mirage, it would really be worth the candle.

Thinking of this, Jing Lan took the little girl closer to Liuxi, handed the little girl to Liuxi, put away Chongxiao first, cupped her fists and said, "This is Jing Lan, the Patriarch of the Dongjing Clan, who just passed by here today. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

"Dongjing family?" The teenagers looked Jing Lan up and down several times.

"This is my sister-in-law, Liu Xi." After Jing Lan introduced Liu Xi, she squatted down beside Youyou, and untied Youyou's rope with her own hands, "This is a friend from the same company, Miss Youyou."

Youyou broke free from the hemp rope on her body, jumped up, and said angrily: "You brats don't have any sympathy for women. If you hurt me, I will never end with you!"

Liu Xi glanced at Jing Lan with a suppressed smile, it was rare for her to see Jing Lan's patriarch demeanor, so she had to take a few more glances.

"Youyou, don't make trouble." Jing Lan stopped Youyou, "Don't make trouble."

Youyou definitely wouldn't listen to Jing Lan's words on weekdays. The reason why she suddenly became obedient was because Liu Xi gave her a cold gaze tinged with murderous intent.

Youyou coughed twice, lowered her head and patted the snow foam on the fur coat, "If you don't make trouble, you don't make trouble."

"Isn't the Dongjing family at the seaside of Dongfuzhou? What are you doing in the desert?" The young man was dubious and didn't dare to believe Jing Lan's words.

"My brother has been poisoned by the underworld..." Before Jing Lan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an old voice.

"What is Dongjing's family motto?" Although the voice was old, it was full of spirit.The person who spoke was an old man with white beard and hair. Neither Jing Lan nor Liu Xi noticed when he came.

"Master." The teenagers bowed respectfully to the old man, "Junior Sister is still in their hands."

Jing Lan cupped her fists and bowed to the old man, and replied solemnly: "Casting soldiers is like being a human being. If your heart is not right, your body will be out of shape."

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, fixedly looking at Jing Lan's brows and eyes, his eyes were gloomy, but he didn't say a word.

"How old is Jing Yang now?" the old man asked suddenly.

Jing Lan was startled, and noticed the suspicious look in the old man's eyes. She cupped her fists and bowed again, "Grandfather has passed away for many years."

"Has it been... so many years?" The suspicious look in the old man's eyes gradually sank, and he stared straight at Jing Lan, but this young man in black cloak had innocent eyebrows and eyes. The small pear dimple cannot be faked at all.

"Senior knows my great-grandfather?" Jing Lan asked tentatively.

The old man's eyes were moist, and he smiled slightly: "I hugged him once many years ago, he is a baby, he must not remember me." Then, he glanced at Liu Xi sideways, "Put the bell, today Let’s treat it as a misunderstanding.”

If it were Liuxi in the past, he would definitely hold Bell as a hostage, but judging from the current situation, the ancestors of the Jing family probably knew this white-haired old man from time to time.

Without much hesitation, Liu Xi carefully helped the little girl in her arms towards the old man.

The old man took another look at Liu Xi, only then did Liu Xi realize that the old man's eyeballs were cloudy, and the old man was probably over a hundred years old.

The old man took the little girl and said to the teenagers who were still waiting, "They are very clean, they don't smell like corpse insects, they can be let go."

"Dare to ask senior's name?" Jing Lan couldn't help asking.

The old man didn't answer directly, "Boy, if you can get out of the eight-door formation in front, the old man will answer your questions." Then, he looked at the pile of stones meaningfully, "If you can turn over here safely, It’s a bit of a skill, the old man is preparing wine and meat at the foot of the mountain, I’d like to see if Jing Yang’s descendants are worse than others, or are they inferior to each other?” After speaking, the old man led the young people away gradually.

Youyou hurriedly urged: "What are you standing there for? Follow them and walk out to win!"

"The eight-door array is an army array that has been lost for many years." Liu Xi's eyes lighted up slightly, "It was also the battle array Commander Wolf was most proud of." She smiled slightly, "Ah Lan, we didn't come in vain this time."

"Miss Youyou, even if we follow their footsteps, we will definitely not be able to get out." Jing Lan said in a deep voice, "The tricks are changing rapidly. They are walking in front of the gate of life, and we will follow in the footsteps of the gate of life." It has become a dead end."

You You frowned, "Young Master Jing, then I can only rely on you."

"I can't get out on my own." Jing Lan smiled sideways, "With a sister-in-law from the Liu family in Xishan, I think we can give them a surprise."
